Frederick William Horner

Frederick William Horner (12 December 1854 – 5 June 1933) was a British playwright, publisher and Conservative politician.

Born in Newport, Monmouthshire, he was educated privately. He was active in local politics as a member of the vestry or local authority for the central London parish of St Martin in the Fields, and he assumed the pen name of "Martyn Field". Among his plays were The Late Lamented, The Bungalow and The Other Fellow.

In 1896, Horner purchased the Whitehall Review, becoming its editor-proprietor.
