Arthur Livingston (September 30, 1883 in Northbridge, Massachusetts – 1944), was an American professor of Romance languages and literatures, translator, and publisher, who played a significant role in introducing a number of European writers to readers in the United States in the period between World War I and World War II.
During World War I, Arthur Livingston was an editor with the Foreign Press Bureau of the Committee on Public Information.
He persuaded many American publishers that it was possible to create a market for the work of European authors in the United States.
Livingston helped introduce to the United States the work of Octave Aubry, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, Giuseppe Antonio Borgese, Benedetto Croce, Claude Farrère, Guglielmo Ferrero, André Maurois, Alberto Moravia, Gaetano Mosca, Giovanni Papini, Vilfredo Pareto, Luigi Pirandello, Giuseppe Prezzolini, and Guido da Verona.
Livingston was strongly opposed to fascism and was in correspondence with a number of anti-fascist intellectuals in Italy, like Lauro de Bosis.
