Abstract: Readers of the Marshall Studies Bulletin are familiar with the literature on post-Marshallian economics that has advanced various different interpretations of Marshall's legacy. As Peter Groenewegen rightly points out in the introduction to his volume, study of the lives of major Marshallians, and of their theoretical contributions to economic analysis - focusing mostly on three individuals (Pigou, Maynard Keynes and Robertson) - has been extensively developed over the last decades (Collard, 1981; Groenewegen, 1995; Fletcher, 2000; Raffaelli et al., 2011). This new contribution remains concerned with Marshall's legacy and, in this sense, lies squarely within the wider tradition of post-Marshallian economics. However, it departs from the long-standing focus on Marshall's three most famous students and, instead, examines the contributions of ten 'minor' Marshallians who have received considerably less attention in the literature, from either a biographical or an analytical perspective.
