Jerome K. Jerome is a British writer of the Victorian period, best known for his comic novels. His most famous and enduring work is Three Men in a Boat. Jerome K. Jerome [1859-1927] was born in Walsall in 1859 in the family of Iron Monger. He was the fourth child of his family. He has written many popular poetry, plays, novels etc. During the First World War he served as an ambulance driver in France. His autobiography, My Life and Times, was published in 1936. He died due to an accident in 1927.
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel.
There are four characters in the story – Jerome [The narrator], Harris, George and the dog, Montmorency. It details the week-long journey of the title characters down the River Thames from London to Oxford and back.
So they set themselves off on a trip to cure themselves – a boating trip. Apparently, that was quite common in those times, which is around 1889 when the book was published. The travelogue portion is quite apparent as along the trip, Jerome mentions all the villages and landmarks they pass, such as Hampton Court Palace, Hampton Church, Monkey Island, Magna Carta Island, Marlow etc. and the few tidbits about the culture in those places.
Jerome’s portrayal of the relationship between urban life and the natural world is complex, and
