He was born on 23 April 1852, son of Maunsell Bradhurst Field (1822-1875), who was an official of the United States Treasury under Lincoln, and Julia Field (née Stanton).
Educated in England, he lived largely in London and Paris and became an intimate of the future King Edward VII of Great Britain. Field used the pseudonym X.L. (or Sigma) to write decadent horror fiction. He is also famous for involving Lady Ida Sitwell, mother of Osbert Sitwell, Sacheverell Sitwell and Edith Sitwell in a financial scandal in 1912 which led to her imprisonment for debt.
