Edgar Evertson Saltus (October 8, 1855 – July 31, 1921) was an American writer known for his highly refined prose style. His works paralleled those by European decadent authors such as Joris-Karl Huysmans, Gabriele D'Annunzio and Oscar Wilde.[citation needed]
Under the pseudonym Myndart Verelst, Saltus translated works by Balzac,[1] Théophile Gautier, and Prosper Mérimée;[2] he also wrote using the name Archibald Wilberforce.[3][4]
