JEROME K. JEROME(1859-1927)

ABOUT THE AUTHORJEROME Klapka Jerome was a British writer. He was a humorist.

He is famous for his humorous travelogue ‘Three Men in a Boat’.Jerome was born in Caldmore (England) and brought up in poverty

in London. He obtained his school education at St. Marylebone GrammarSchool. Jerome Clapp, his father, was an ironmonger. Jerome K. Jeromehad two sisters and one brother. The young Jerome had shown his earlyinterest in politics and writing. But due to untimely demise of his parents,he had to earn his livelihood on his own and was employed as a coalcollector with London and North Western Railway, where he worked forfour years.

In 1877, his elder sister Blandina inspired him to join theatre whichproved a failure. Later, he tried to become a journalist writing satires,short stories and essays, but his works were rejected most of the times.Then he joined as a school teacher.

‘On the stage–and off’ (1885, a comic memoir of his troupeactivities), Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886, a collection ofhumorous essays), etc., gave him some popularity.

The turning point in his life was his marriage to Georgian ElijabethHenrietta Stanley whom he married on 21 June 1888. After his marriagewith Henrietta, the couple was on a honeymoon trip on the Thames riverin a little boat. It was here that the idea of writing ‘Three Men in a Boat’took shape in his mind. The book was published in 1889 and proved aninstant success. It remains in print until the present.

Its popularity was such that the number of registered Thames boatswent up fifty percent in the year following its publication and if contributedsignificantly to the Thames becoming a tourist attraction. It has been adoptedin movies, T.V and radio shows, stage plays, and even a musical.

After this book proved a big hit, he wrote many novels, plays andessays but could not recapture the same success. Later, in 1892, he wasappointed editor to edit ‘The Idler’. In 1898, he wrote ‘Three Men on theBummel’, a sequel to ‘Three Men in a Boat’, but was unable to attractenough attention of the readers. In 1902, he published his autobiographicalnovel ‘Paul Kelver’. In 1908, his play ‘The Passing of the Third FloorBack’ proved his religious bent of mind.

At the age of 68, on 14th June, 1927, he took his last breath atNorthampton, England.

ABOUT THE BOOK‘THREE Men in a Boat’ is written by Jerome K. Jerome. It was

published in 1889. It is a simple fictional but humorous story of threeLondon friends and a dog.

The three man are Jerome himself and two real life friends, GeorgeWingrave and Corl Hentschel with whom he often took boating trips.The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional. These three friends take atypical boating holiday on the River Thames.

The book begins with the narrator, J. (Jerome) and two of his friendswho are sitting at home tired of their dull lives. They want a break forhaving fun and to get rid of the chronic case of hypochondria that theyhave. So, they decide to go for boating on the Thames. All the three menpack their supplies and set off on the two-week long trip. They travelfrom Kingston to Oxford and then back again. They travel on the Thamesby day and camp out in the hired boat at night. They have various mishapsas they travel up the river. They could not join the trip at a time. Also,they are having tinned pineapple for tea, but cannot find the tin opener.They spend a lot of time trying to open it but all in vain. Also there arestories of other trips that they made up the river.

When they reach Oxford, they start to travel back. It starts raining.They are not enjoying themselves so much. So, they abandon the boatand take the train back to London. Here, they go to a show and thenhave dinner in a restaurant. Along the journey, the writer adds differentamusing incidents and stories from the memories without straying fromthe main plot. Although, the author’s original intention of writing aguidebook is very clear. However, what he actually achieved, was a classicof British humorous writing.

Since its publication, Three Men in a Boat has never been out ofprint. It is probably as popular today as when first published. This is becausemuch of the language seems fresh, humorous and modern.
