Hugo Marti (1893–1937) was a Swiss Germanist, writer and literary editor.
His studies were several times interrupted by periods spent in Norway and Romania where he supported himself by working as a home tutor.
He eventually obtained his doctorate from the University of Bern in 1921 with a dissertation on the language used in the Swiss Civil Code.
[1] In 1922 he was appointed to a Literary editorship with Der Bund, a daily national newspaper published in Bern.
As literary editor he was supportive of younger authors such as Friedrich Glauser and Kurt Guggenheim, and acted as a counter-weight to the famously conservative "Literature Pope", Otto von Greyerz Marti died at Davos, then well known as a health resort, in his 44th year from tuberculosis, with which he had been diagnosed in 1928.
