The Marriage of William Ashe is a novel by Mary Augusta Ward that was best-selling novel in the United States in 1905.[1] It originally appeared in serial form in Harper's Magazine from June 1904 through May 1905, and was published in book form in March 1905.[2] Illustrations were provided by Albert Sterner.[3][4]
Margaret Mayo adapted the novel into a play which debuted on Broadway at the Garrick Theatre in November 1905 featuring Grace George and H. Reeves-Smith, and produced by George's husband William A. Brady.[5][6]
It was first adapted to film in a 1916 British production directed by Cecil Hepworth and starring Henry Ainley as William Ashe and Alma Taylor as Kitty Bristol. A 1921 American silent film adaptation was directed by Edward Sloman and featured Wyndham Standing as Ashe and May Allison as Bristol.[7]
