A contribution both to Surtees studies and to Victorian social history, this is the first study to put Surtees' opinions and sentiments in an historical rather than a literary context. It uses historical evidence to provide a background for Surtees' novels, and uses his writings to enlarge the purely historical evidence. While the traditional concentration of social historians has been on urban life, industrialization, and social reform, Surtees' more conservative world of the countryside, small provincial towns, and the seedier side of London would have been familiar to the majority of his countrymen.

I am an avid reader, a long time enthusiastic appreciator of the novels of Robert Surtees. I also enjoy the study of the social history of England, especially that of the life and times of the reign of Queen Victoria. I enjoyed reading Norman Gash's in depth analysis of Victorian social normes and habits as portrayed through the eyes and word of Robert Surtees. However I caution readers that I consider in order to truly understand and appreciate this book a previous knowledge of the works of Surtees appears to me to be essential.
