Curtis Hidden Page (April

4, 1870-December 13, 1946) was a United States educator and writer. He was born

in Greenwood, Missouri. He

graduated from Harvard University, where

in 1890 he became the first recipient of the George B. Sohier Prize for

literature. He held teaching positions in French and English at Harvard University (1893–1908), Columbia University (professor

of English literature, 1909–1911), and Dartmouth College (professor of English elected to the New Hampshire state

legislature in 1933 and again in 1939.

Compiler

of anthologies of verse such as British Poets of the Nineteenth Century and The

Chief American Poets, Page also published verses, essays, and stories

in numerous periodicals. In 1906, writing of his activities to his fellow

Harvard alumni, he stated: "I have two volumes of verse nearly ready, but

find little time to give to completing them and doubt if they will be published

until after I am dead!" Page

also translated many French works, including A Voyage to the Moon,

by Cyrano de Bergerac and The

Man Who Married a Dumb Wife by Anatole France. He published a well-regarded translation of eight plays by Molière in 1908; of these, Tartuffe, or the

Hypocrite is available online from Project Gutenberg.
