	Pierce Egan - LoveToKnow 1911
		PIERCE EGAN (1772-1849), English sporting writer, was born in London in 1772.
		Egan died at Pentonville on the 3rd of August 1849.
		His son, Pierce Egan (1814-1880), illustrated his own and his father's books, and wrote a score of novels of varying merit, of which The Snake in the Grass (1858) is perhaps the best.

		Egan was a master of the “flash” and the flashy; and Life in London contains as many slang phrases as he could put into it.
		It was Moncrieff who, in answer to the accusation that Egan and he had made their age the age of flash, replied in the wellknown but inconclusive saying, “Any age is better than the age of cant”—cant implying, of course, the protests of certain portions of the press and of some religious bodies.
		Egan himself produced, in 1822, a dramatic version of the story, which was played without success (save for a pony-race round the theatre) at Astley’s.

		For Egan was the first great sporting journalist, in days when journalism had discovered the dignity and the beneficence of sport.
		Writing in a florid, slipshod style, by no means devoid of vigour and vividness, he described the fights with understanding and at the same time with what many of his readers probably mistook for “a literary touch”; and his example has not yet completely faded from journalism.
		Egan’s Book of Sports and Mirror of Life (1832) is a valuable compilation; but his most successful work on sport was his illustrated book, Boxiana; or, Sketches of Antient and Modern Pugilism, from the days of the renowned Broughton and Slack, to the championship of Crib.

	[No title]
		Pierce Egan was born in 1770 in Britain.
		Egan’s version of masculinity cannot belong to each boxer equally, but Egan has a formula to suggest how we can determine who the real man is in the boxing ring: “in speaking generally, as a national trait, we feel no hesitation in declaring, that it is wholly – BRITISH” (12).
		Egan writes, “It has been the leading feature of BOXIANA to expose the sophisticated attempts of those writers who have endeavoured not only to traduce the Patrons of Pugilism, but to annihilate, if possible, the practice of the manly art of self-defence” (242).

		Pierce Egan the Younger seems to have begun his writing career about 1839-40 with the firm of Hextall and Wall, for whom he produced four novels issued in weekly penny or twopenny numbers, 'Robin Hood' (completed 1840), 'Wat Tyler' (1841), 'Adam Bell' (1842), and 'Paul Jones' (1842).
		Summers attributes all the fictional contents of the present volume to Egan's pen: we believe this to be unlikely since Egan was normally scrupulous about signing his work (and stated that he always did so in his Preface to 'Paul Jones').

		Pierce Egan was born in the early 1770's and died in 1847.
		Given his father's occupation, that of a roadmender, it seems unlikely that Egan received any formal education, but at age 12 he was apprenticed to a printer, and spent the rest of his life pursuing literary endeavours.
		Egan was well known to and well liked by nearly everyone in boxing circles.

		Pierce Egan was for years the great sporting authority, his word was law, his decision final in all cases connected with London Life, or the Ring.
		Pierce Egan lived to see the “Ring” disgraced, if ever that could be disgraced which was in itself disgraceful, for I do not believe that it was ever otherwise than a hot-bed of vice.

	The Iconoclast - New English Review
		Tom and Jerry were borrowed by Hanna-Barbera from tales of Regency bucks (I can't remember whether apaches or mohicans), by Pierce Egan, detailing the adventures of Jerry Hawthorne and Corinthian Tom.
		Pierce Egan, some seminar taught me, may have been an influence, or the characters Tom and Jerry may have been, on Dickens and his "Pickwick Papers." The very phrase "Tom and Jerry" entered the language -- see Eric Partridge -- to mean "disorder, rowdiness, etc."
		For further proof that the cat-and-mouse cartoon of MGM using the names supplied by Pierce Egan must indeed be just as sinisterly anti-Islamic as is claimed, one can offer lexical evidence: the dismissive phrase "street Arab" occurs in the books of Pierce Egan, of Henry Mayhew, and of Dickens as well.
