Robert Smith Surtees was a dedicated sportsman who portrayed (and satirized) English fox-hunting society with great verve in his humorous novels. Published in 1847, Hawbuck Grange follows the adventures of Thomas Scott, Esq., an avid sportsman. The novel includes one of Surtees’s most memorable passages: an exhilarating account of a hare hunt.
