Maurice Eden Paul (27 September 1865, in Sturminster Marshall[1] – 1 December 1944) was a British socialist activist, physician, writer and translator.
[5] In the mid-1880s he helped Beatrice Webb and Ella Pycroft run Katharine Buildings, model dwellings that were the first project of the philanthropically-motivated East End Dwellings Company,[6][7] and in 1886 joined Charles Booth's Board of Statistical Inquiry investigating poverty in London.
[8] In 1890, he married Margaret Jessie Macdonald, née Boag, a ward sister at the London Hospital.
[11] By 1903, the family had moved to Alderney, where his wife later established a private nursing home; however, the couple separated about this time.
[14] With his second wife, Cedar Paul, he wrote several books for a socialist reading public, and they also worked together to translate from German, French, Italian and Russian.
