Henry Frith (1840–1917) was an Irish engineer who developed a highly active career as a translator and writer. Operating during the Victorian era, Frith became a key figure in introducing continental European adventure literature to the English-speaking world, most notably through his translations of the works of Jules Verne.
Frith's literary output was remarkably prolific, encompassing nearly two hundred works over his lifetime. His bibliography was highly diverse, split between his celebrated translations, his own original novels, and a variety of instructional titles. Through these varied publications, Frith successfully bridged the gap between his technical background in engineering and his creative literary pursuits.
