Jerome, Jerome K.

Jerome K. Jerome came to prominence as a writer of comedy in the final years of the nineteenth century. His wry observations of the small irritations and injustices inherent in everyday life, which appeared in work such as his novelThree Men in a Boat(1889), had great appeal not only to their target audience, members of the period's emerging lower‐middle class, but also to a vast international readership. Jerome remained frustrated, however, by his enduring association with popular literary comedy and felt that his serious novels and plays offered more representative examples of his talents as a writer.
