GUTHRIE, THOMAS ANSTEY (1856- )

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 742 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUTHRIE, THOMAS ANSTEY (1856- ) , known by the pseudonym of F. Anstey, English novelist, was born in Kensington, London, on the 8th of August 1856. He was educated at King's College, London, and at Trinity
Hall
 ,
Cambridge
 , and was called to the bar in 1880. But the popular success of his story Vice-Versa (1882) with its topsy turvy substitution of a father for his schoolboy son, at once made his reputation as a humorist of an
original
  type. He published in 1883 a serious novel, The Giant's Robe; but, in spite of its excellence, he discovered (and again in 1889 with The
Pariah
 ) that it was not as a serious novelist but as a humorist that the public insisted on regarding him. As such his reputation was further confirmed.by The Black Poodle (1884), The Tinted
Venus
  (1885), A Fallen Idol (1886), and other works. He became an important member of the staff of Purich, in which his " Voces populi " and his humorous parodies of a reciter's stock-piece (" Burglar Bill," &c.) represent his best
work
 . In 1901 his successful farce The Man from Blankley's, based on a story which originally appeared in Punch, was first produced at the Prince of Wales's Theatre, in London.
