Book Description
Edmund Hodgson Yates (1831-94) was a British journalist, novelist and dramatist. He was born in Einburgh and educated at Highgate School in London from 1840-46 before taking a position as clerk in the General Post Office. He then embarked on a career in journalism, working on the Court Journal and then the Daily News. His first book, My Haunts and their Frequenters, was published in 1854, followed by a succession of novels and plays. As a contributor to All the Year Round and Household Words he became a friend of Charles Dickens and at one time was his near neighbour in Doughty Street. He was perhaps best known as proprietor and editor of The World, a society newspaper he established with Eustace Clare Grenville Murray and edited under the pen name of Atlas. In 1884 he was sentenced to 4 months' imprisonment for libelling Lord Lonsdale, but some years later enjoyed a second career as a county magistrate. This novel was first published in two volumes in 1869 and is reprinted from the George Routledge & Sons edition of 1879 containing both volumes in one. The plot involving the hero Walter Joyce's ambition to become a member of parliament echoes, in some respects, Trollope's Phineas Finn published the same year, and Yates drew on his own wide experience in portraying Walter's career as a journalist, providing vivid descriptions of the areas around Covent Garden and Leicester Square. When Walter heads for London to pursue his political interests his first love, Marian, accepts a proposal from a rich, older man who subsequently becomes Walter's rival candidate for the parliamentary seat he hopes to win. By the time Marian finds herself a widow with a huge fortune, Walter has found a new love and Marian is left prematurely aged and alone.
