	Harry Paget Flashman
		Harry Paget Flashman Fictional character originally created by the author Thomas Hughes[?], in his semi-autobiographical work Tom Brown's School Days[?] first published in 1857.
		George Macdonald Fraser[?] had the conceit of writing a series of further fictional adventures of this coward and bully as he cuts a swathe through the wars and uproars (and the boudoirs and harems) of the 19th century.
		Though Flashman constantly betrays his friends, runs from danger, or hides cowering in fear, he arrives at the end of each book with medals, praise from the mighty, and the love of one or more beautiful and enthusiastic women.

	Flashman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Flash Harry was an unwilling participant in almost every significant battle and drama of his times, from the disastrous retreat from Kabul (Afghanistan, 1842) to the defense of Rorke's Drift (Zululand, 1879).
		Flash Harry also won the admiration of a number of lovely (and often notorious) ladies captivated by his handsome soldier's figure and spurious reputation, a situation of which he took full and libidinous advantage.
		Flashman is the first in a series of nine books (so far), and chronicles Sir Harry's life since leaving Rugby School through his thoroughly unwilling participation in the First Afghanistan War in 1842.

		In FLASHMAN'S LADY, the reader is apprised of the private war against the pirates of the East Indies by the eccentric English imperialist, James Brooke, and the reign of terror perpetuated by that female Caligula of the period, Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar.

	Flashman and the Tiger - George MacDonald Fraser
		In the last, Flashman and the Tiger, he is almost driven to murder when his granddaughter and her intended are flmailed by someone from Flashman's past.
		Flashman does save the day, and though it is not the most dramatic of resolutions in a Flashman-tale it makes for the usual entertaining read, with all the usual entertaining elements (bumbling, cowardice, surprises, shoot-outs and sword fights, and considerably more).
		Flashman has killed before ("more than a hundred, easy, I should think -- which ain't a bad tally for a true-blue coward who'd sooner shirk a fight than eat his dinner"), but premeditation was rarely part of the equation.

	Damn Your Eyes! \| MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		August 7, 2003 12:15 AM Damn your eyes, Harry Paget Flashman lived through and thrived in spite of his involvement in almost all of the sticky and and unpleasant incidents involving agents of the British Empire from the late 1830s to the beginning of the last century.
		Flashman's account of the battle of Balaclava in "Flashman at the Charge" -- at which he manages to see action with Campbell's 93rd Highlanders, Scarlett's Heavy Brigade and the famous Light Brigade, all in a single day, is the most lucid, riveting -- and hilarious -- battlefield narrative that I've ever read.
		Fraser did soften Flashy dramatically, but the big change is from _Flashman_, the first novel, where Harry is a utterly unlikable shit, to all the other novels, where he's still a poltroon, but what you've essentially got is a modern, cynical sensibility commenting hilariously on all those stiff-upper-lip Victorian officers and gentlemen.

	Flashman Chronology 1876 - 1915 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Flashman states that he was intimately acquainted with Langtry before the Prince of Wales was, so we can place Flashman's involvement between August 3, 1876 (the day after he appears in Deadwood) and January 1879, when Flashman is caught up in the Zulu Uprising.
		Flashman states that he won some money from Wilde on the John L. Sullivan-Ryan fight, which was held in Mississippi City on Feb. 7, 1882.
		To summarize: Flashman was in London during the time of Lilly Langtry's initial burst of fame, as was Wilde, and this is entirely consistent with Flashman's various remarks about her-- including his claim of involvement prior to Prince Edward's.

		Although the earliest portion of his diaries have not been the focus of research, it is apparent that Jack Flashman was involved in the Triangle Trade in the late 1750's.
		Being involved in the tavern business brought Flashman in contact with many of the key American and British beer drinkers of the time, such as George Washington, Ben Franklin, and General Cornwallis to name a few.

		Eleventh in the series, Flashman and the Tiger features not one, but three stories of international intrigue that find the fictional Flashman thrown headlong into historical events around the world.
		This time out Flashman is thwarting an attempted assassination of Austria's Emperor Franz Josef ("The Road to Charing Cross"); getting to the bottom of the Tranby Croft gaming scandal–and the Prince of Wales' involvement in it ("The Subtleties of Baccarat"); and, in the title story, impacting the Zulu war while hunting down a longtime enemy.
		At once meticulously faithful to fact and wildly fanciful, Flashman and the Tiger is an educational romp through the annals of history; thirty years after he began the series, Fraser is at the top of his game.

	Am I better served staring at my feet? - The Literary Musings of Nizz/Hotspur/Walter
		I'm an unabashed fan of George Macdonald Fraser's FLASHMAN series, covering the career of one Harry Paget Flashman, who existed in literature as the swaggering bully of the somewhat unreadable TOM BROWN'S SCHOOL DAYS.
		Fraser's conceit is to examine what the career of Flashman might have been like had he pursued a career in the Victorian Army of the late 19th Century.
		Flashman's experiences (on both sides) during the American Civil War (the book all Flashy fans want to see). Flashman's portrayal of John Brown is humane, charitable and even sympathetic.
