More Information
Hugh Walpole, born 1884 died 1941, was a popular and acclaimed
author in his day. His reputation was, and still remains to some extent, damaged
Somerset Maugham's portrayal of him in Cakes and Ale (1930). The
character, Alroy Kear, was depicted as an unpleasant and selfish literary
opportunist. This caricature stuck with him and constantly returned in critical
reviews of his work, it even went as far as his obituary in The Times. He
remains best known today for the Lake series and the Herries Chronicle which are
his only works to remain consistently in print.
