Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927) was an English humorist, novelist and playwright who wrote during the Victorian period. Now his reputation chiefly rests on his comic masterpiece
Three Men in a Boat (1889).
His full name is Jerome Klapka Jerome. His middle name was in honour of a family friend, Hungarian exile and hero George Klapka. He was born on the second day of May 1859 in Belsize House, Bradford Street, Walsall, Staffordshire, Central England. He was
the fourth child born to Jerome Clapp Jerome, (1807–1872) and Marguerite Jones (d. 1872). Jerome had two sisters, Paulina Deodata and Blandina Dominica, and a brother Milton Melancthon. His father died when he was just 13 years old. Two
years later his mother died as well. Losing both parents Jerome’s family encountered untold financial misery. Consequently, he was bound to leave school to work menial jobs. Till his twenties he engaged himself in a number of jobs such as journalism,
acting, teaching, etc.
Jerome married Georgina Elizabeth Henrietta Stanley Marris, in 1888. Georgina was a divorcee and had a daughter named Elsie from her previous marriage. The newlywed couple spent their honeymoon rowing on the Thames. That very experience inspired Jerome
to pen his seminal work
Three Men in a Boat. However, in the book, he replaced wife, Georgina by his longtime friends George Wingrave (George) and Carl Hentschel (Harris).
The subject novel was serialized in Home Chimes in 1889. Three Men in a Boat was very lucrative for Jerome since it earned him lots of money. Surprisingly, although the work did not received critical acclaim, it was well-accepted by the audience form
all social strata. The success of the book inspired him to accept writing as the fulltime profession. However, his later publications received little critical as well as audience reception. He even sought to regain his popularity through a sequel
to
Three Men in a Boat called
Three Men on the Bummel in 1898. However, the book failed to gain any positive reception either from the critics or the audience. Resultantly,
Three Men in a Boat remains his undoubted masterpiece
to this date. Jerome K. Jerome died in 1927 of a stroke.
