Charles Carroll Marden was the son of Jesse and Anna Maria (Brice) Marden, was descended from old Colonial stock, Marylanders on his mother's side and New Englanders on his father's. He was born on December 21, 1867 in Baltimore, his paternal grandfather having in 1829 removed to that city from New Hampshire.
In 1889 he recieved his bachelor degree from the Johns Hopkins University.
He taught a year in Virginia at the Norfolk Academy, for another year was instructor in French at the University of Michigan, and then pursued graduate study under A. Marshall Elliott at the Johns Hopkins, completing his course in 1894 with a doctoral thesis on the Spanish dialect of Mexico City. While North America had early acquired an honorable name in Spanish studies with the publication in 1849 of George Ticknor's remarkable History of Spanish Literature, successors to Ticknor had been lacking, and Elliott, eager to see the interrupted tradition renewed, welcomed his pupil's desire to concentrate upon the domain in which he had made an auspicious beginning, and retained him as instructor at his alma mater, where Marden's work won him successive promotions through the intermediate ranks to the first American university professorship in Spanish, to which he was named in 1905 and which he retained until 1917. He was elected in 1916 to the newly established Emery L. Ford Chair of Spanish at Princeton, but for a year divided his time between the two universities. He also had an important part in another active center of Spanish studies, the University of Chicago, where between 1909 and 1928 he conducted graduate courses during seven of the summer quarters. Marden's initial interest in Latin-American Spanish was never lost, and his last study in that field was dated 1925; but he early centered his attention on the language and literature of medieval Spain, and few were the years unmarked by some contribution from him in this domain. In 1925 he discovered in Madrid a portion of the manuscript of the works of the first known Castilian poet, Gonzalo de Berceo a priceless treasure which he generously presented to the Spanish Academy. While he was preparing this text for publication, his conviction grew that a systematic search within a circumscribed territory might bring to light other portions of the manuscript. When, in February 1928, he next went to Spain, and as soon as he had acquitted himself of his commission as Carnegie visiting professor to Spanish universities, he thoroughly combed the province of Logroño, and there, just on the eve of his departure, he found and acquired in a remote mountain village thirty-two of the missing folios, which he joined with those already in the Academy's possession. Upon the completion of his edition of the two parts of this manuscript (Cuatro Poemas de Berceo, 1928, and Veintitrés Milagros, 1929), he began what promised to be the crowning work of his career, an edition of the Libro de Alexandre, interrupted before its completion by his unexpected death. While Marden's published work was limited to the field of Spanish, his influence had a wider reach. To his unbroken activity in research and the training of scholars he joined a live interest in the instruction of beginners in language, for whom he regularly conducted courses, and in A First Spanish Grammar (1926), collaborating with F. C. Tarr, he placed at the service of others his own clear and accurate analysis and exposition. He was also during some years chief examiner in Spanish for the College Entrance Examination Board.
His text of the Poema de Fernan Gonçalez, issued in 1904, was the first critical edition ever issued of a medieval Spanish literary work. It won international commendation, and was followed by his election in 1907 as a corresponding member of the Spanish Academy. An edition of the Libro de Apolonio (2 vols. , 1917 - 22) confirmed his standing as an accurate and penetrating interpreter of the early literature. In addition to his corresponding membership in the Spanish Academy, he was Knight Commander in the Order of Isabel la Católica, fellow of the Medieval Academy and of the Hispanic Society, and at the time of his death, president of the Modern Language Association.

Many of his students who later became leaders in kindred subjects bear testimony to the contagiousness of his enthusiasm for scholarship and to the profit they derived from the sound principles which he unceasingly inculcated. Similarly, when after the death of Elliott, founder of Modern Language Notes, Marden was for several years managing editor of that journal (January 1911 - December 1915), his adherence to those same principles was a stimulus and an example to a wide circle of contributors and readers.
Honesty, clear thinking, and the capacity for taking pains lay at the basis of all Marden's accomplishment. He scrupulously controlled his material and as scrupulously made accessible the data behind his arguments. In analyzing the work of others he applied the same standards, and the reviews he wrote form no small element of his contribution to scholarship. Tender in his human sympathies, rather than voice a dissenting judgment he often kept silent; but if the word came, he was outspoken. Praise from him was highly prized, and the sincerity of his less favorable criticisms was never questioned. He was not effusive in his casual contacts but in company of kindred spirits became expansive and even jovial. Particularly happy in his family life, he was at his best in his home, and it was there by preference that he greeted his friends and that he carried on the work that made of him the leading American hispanist.
On December 2, 1897 he married Mary Talbott Clark, daughter of John L. and Mary Corinne Clark of Howard County, Maryland. They had four children.
