Joseph Paul Christopher Hatton (3 February 1837 (baptised in Andover 22 March 1837) – 31 July 1907) was an English novelist and journalist.[1][2] He was Editor of The Sunday Times from 1874 to 1881.

Life

Hatton was born and baptised in Andover, Hampshire, but his parents, Francis Augustus and Mary Ann Hatton, moved to Chesterfield when he was young, where he later became apprenticed as a printer to his father. Hatton married Louisa Johnson and had three children: the artist Helen Howard Hatton, Bessie Lyle Hatton, and Frank Hatton.[3] His brother Joshua Hatton was also a journalist.

Hatton accompanied Henry Irving on an North American tour to write his biography.[4]
