"Robert Smith Surtees Creator of Jorrocks 1803-1864" is a compelling biographical and autobiographical account of one of the 19th century's most distinctive literary voices. Co-authored by Surtees himself and the writer E.D. Cuming, this work provides an intimate look into the life of the man who revolutionized sporting fiction. Known primarily for creating the immortal character John Jorrocks-the cockney grocer turned Master of Foxhounds-Surtees captured the eccentricities of Victorian rural life and the thrills of the hunt with unparalleled wit and social satire.
This volume delves into Surtees' personal history, his experiences as a journalist and editor, and the development of his most famous works, including "Jorrocks' Jaunts and Jollities" and "Handley Cross." By blending Surtees' own recollections with Cuming's historical context, the narrative offers readers a deep understanding of the author's creative process and the cultural landscape of mid-19th-century England. It is an essential resource for scholars of Victorian literature and enthusiasts of traditional English sporting life, highlighting Surtees' lasting influence on the genre of satirical and sporting novels. Through letters and personal papers, the work reveals the character of a man who preferred the company of the field to the salons of London.
