  Robert Smith Surtees - LoveToKnow 1911
ROBERT SMITH SURTEES (1803-1864), English novelist and sporting writer, was the second son of Anthony Surtees of Hamsterley Hall, a member of an old Durham family.
Educated to be a solicitor, Surtees soon began to contribute to the Sporting Magazine, and in 1831 he published a treatise on the law relating to horses and particularly the law of warranty, entitled The Horseman's Manual.
In 1838, on the death of his father, Surtees, whose elder brother had died in 1831, inherited the family property of Hamsterley Hall, where he lived for the rest of his life.

 R S Surtees Handley Cross
Robert Smith Surtees (1805-1864) was a country gentleman, born into a family of landowners in County Durham.
Surtees died in 1864 at the age of nearly 60, his literary life still somewhat masked by the conventional public life of a country gentleman.
However, it must be remembered that Surtees' chief motivation was to entertain; as he declared in the preface, 'the reader will have the kindness to bear in mind, that the work merely professes to be a tale, and does not aspire to the dignity of a novel'.

 Surtees & money by Tim Congdon
Surtees and Trollope accepted the inequality of mid-Victorian England as part of the human condition, and in Surtees’s case he saw the inequality as the by-product of a game, the always entertaining moves and counter-moves of the market economy.
Surtees is usually seen as the definitive novelist of Victorian horses and hunting, but a case can be made that his writings are unrivaled in their candid, pitiless, and very amusing accounts of deception, fraud, and outright swindling.
Surtees was the greatest novelist of the fib and the whopper.

Surtees was something more than a satirist or a humourist – he was a sportsman, and hence the force and effect he was enabled to give to his scetches – the foundation of truth upon which he laid his quaint, fanciful structures.

 Robert Smith Surtees Society
After attending Durham Grammar School he was articled to a solicitor in 1822, moved to London and practised law in a desultory way.
By l830, ‘scribbling’ had taken over from the law, and Surtees contributed regularly to the Sporting Magazine.
In Surtees’ lifetime, however, it was overshadowed by Mr Sponge’s Sporting Tour (1853), a caustic satire which charts the villainous progress of Mr Soapey Sponge, through English country society.
