EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Robert Smith Surtees: The Jovial Hunter and Bashful Misses' Chronicler" Robert Smith Surtees (1803-1864), a prolific and beloved English novelist, is immortalized in this evocative image. Born in London on March 2, 1803, Surtees gained renown for his sporting novels that vividly captured the essence of rural England during the Victorian era. His works, filled with jovial huntsmen and bashful young misses, continue to captivate readers with their wit, charm, and authentic portrayal of country life. Surtees' literary career began in earnest in 1831 with the publication of "Jorrocks' Jaunts and Jests," a collection of humorous stories about a rotund, good-natured huntsman named Jorrocks. The character, which Surtees based on a real-life acquaintance, quickly became a sensation, leading to numerous sequels and spin-offs. The popularity of Jorrocks and Surtees' other creations, such as "Handley Cross" and "Mr. Squires," can be attributed to their ability to bridge the gap between the urban and rural worlds. In a time when the industrial revolution was transforming England, Surtees' novels offered a romanticized and nostalgic glimpse into a simpler, more pastoral way of life. Despite his success as a writer, Surtees remained humble and dedicated to his craft. He continued to write and publish novels until his death on January 21, 1864. Today, Robert Smith Surtees is remembered as a master storyteller who beautifully captured the spirit of the English countryside and its inhabitants. This photograph, a testament to the man and his legacy, invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of Surtees' works and the unique place they hold in the annals of English literature.
