WHYTE-See also:MELVILLE, GEORGE JOHN (1821-1878), See also:English novelist, son of John Whyte-Melville of Strathkinness, Fifeshire, and See also:grandson on his See also:mother's See also:side of the 5th See also:duke of See also:Leeds, was born on the 19th of See also:June 1821. Whyte-Melville received his See also:education at See also:Eton, entered the See also:army in 1839, became See also:captain in the See also:Coldstream See also:Guards in 1846 and retired in 1849. After translating See also:Horace (1850) in fluent and graceful See also:verse, he published his first novel, See also:Digby See also:Grand, in 1853. The unflagging verve and intimate technical knowledge with which he described sportl:
scenes and sporting characters at once See also:drew See also:attention to him as a novelist with a new vein. He was the See also:laureate of See also:fox-See also:hunting;
all his most popular and distinctive heroes and heroines, Digby Grand, Tilbury Nogo, the See also:Honourable Crasher, Mr See also:Sawyer, Kate See also:Coventry, Mrs Lascelles, are or would be mighty hunters. Tilbury Nogo was contributed to the Sporting See also:Magazine in 1853 and published separately in 1854. He showed in the adventures of Mr Nogo—and it became more apparent in his later See also:works—that he had a surer See also:hand in humorous narrative than in pathetic description; his pathos is the pathos of the preacher. His next novel, See also:General Bounce, appeared in See also:Fraser's Magazine (1854). When the See also:Crimean See also:War See also:broke out Whyte-Melville went out as a volunteer See also:major of See also:Turkish irregular See also:cavalry ; but this was the only break in his See also:literary career from the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time that he began to write novels till his See also:death. By a See also:strange See also:accident, he lost his See also:life in the hunting-See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

Twenty-one novels appeared from his See also:pen after his return from the See also:Crimea:—Kate Coventry (1856); The Interpreter (1858); Holmby See also:House (186o) ; See also:Good for Nothing (1861) ; See also:Market Harborough (1861) ; The See also:Queen's Maries (1862); The See also:Gladiators (1863); Brookes of Bridlemere (1864) ; Cerise (1866) ; Bones and I (1868) ; The White See also:Rose (1868); M or N (1869); See also:Contraband (1870); Sarchedon (1871); Satanella. (1873) ; See also:Uncle John (1874) ; See also:Sister See also:Louise (1875) ; Katerfelto (1875); Rosine (1875); See also:Roy's Wife (1878); See also:Black but Comely (18781. Several of these novels are See also:historical, The Gladiators being perhaps the most famous of them. As an historical novelist Whyte-Melville is not equal to See also:Harrison See also:Ainsworth in painstaking accuracy and minuteness of detail; but he makes his characters live and move with See also:great vividness. It is on his See also:portraiture of contemporary sporting society that his reputation as a novelist must See also:rest; and, though now and then a See also:character reappears, such as the supercilious See also:stud-See also:groom, the dark and wary See also:steeple-chaser, or the fascinating sporting widow, his variety in the invention of incidents is amazing. Whyte-Melville was not merely the annalist of sporting society for his See also:generation, but may also be fairly described as the principal moralist of that society; he exerted a considerable and a wholesome See also:influence on the See also:manners and morals of the gilded youth of his time. His Songs and Verses (1869) and his metrical See also:Legend of the True See also:Cross (1873), though respectable in point of versification, are of no particular merit.
