Frances Newbold Noyes Hart (August 1890 – October 25, 1943) was an American writer whose short stories were published in Scribner's magazine, the Saturday Evening Post, the Ladies' Home Journal.[1]
She was born as Frances Newbold Noyes on August 10, 1890[2] to Frank Brett Noyes and Janet Thurston Newbold.[3] During World War I, she served as a translator with the Navy and as a canteen worker in France (see her book My AEF: A Hail and Farewell). She married lawyer Edward H. Hart in 1921.[1] She died in 1943.[4][5]
Following the publication of many short stories in Scribner's magazine, the Saturday Evening Post, the Ladies' Home Journal, and a collection of them titled Contact and Other Stories (1923), Hart became famous for Pulitzer Prize-winning The Bellamy Trial (1927), which was serialized in the Saturday Evening Post, published in book form, and later dramatized. According to Julian Symons, the original publication of this book marked the start of serialized novels replacing short crime stories as commercial articles.
