Also known by the pen names Marcus Holland and Max Reiner.

Taylor Caldwell was born in Manchester, England. In 1907 she emigrated to the United States with her parents and younger brother. Her father died shortly after the move, and the family struggled. At the age of eight she started to write stories, and in fact wrote her first novel, The Romance of Atlantis, at the age of twelve (although it remained unpublished until 1975). Her father did not approve such activity for women, and sent her to work in a bindery. She continued to write prolifically, however, despite ill health. (In 1947, according to TIME magazine, she discarded and burned the manuscripts of 140 unpublished novels.)

In 1918-1919, she served in the United States Navy Reserv Also known by the pen names Marcus Holland and Max Reiner.

Taylor Caldwell, Controversial but Popular Novelist, Dies

Taylor Caldwell, the best-selling author whose more than 30 historical and romantic novels made her the darling of booksellers--and the bane of critics both literary and political--for nearly half a century, has died at her home in Greenwich, Conn.

Medical Examiner Dr. Hugo Virgilio said Ms. Caldwell, 84, died Friday of pulmonary failure caused by advanced lung cancer.

She had been almost deaf since 1967 and had suffered two strokes that deprived her of the ability to speak. Ms. Caldwell’s health had been in decline for more than five years, members of the family said.

“But she never stopped working, never stopped trying, never gave in,” said Robert Prestie, her manager and fourth husband, who was with her at the time of her death.

“She was always game for a fight,” added J. J. Harris, a friend and former editor.

It was an ending entirely in character for a woman whose life had been a constant, and largely successful, battle against the odds.

Over the years, Taylor Caldwell’s literary output had led opponents to call
