C S Forester
Cecil Scott Forester was kept out of war by a weak heart and out of a professional career by indifference. So he became a writer.
He then became the famous creator of the more famous Hornblower, based on the most famous Admiral of the Napoleonic wars, Horatio Nelson, and so earned the admiration of thousands of British schoolboys of the 1950s wanting a role model to steer them through adolescent rites of passage, until Ian Fleming created their manhood hero in James Bond.
Forester's was no instant success. He sustained a battering from publishers, no less severe than the fleet under bombardment at Quiberon. Still he stuck to his guns. Under sponsorship from Hugh Walpole, he took off to Hollywood. But Hollywood did not take to him, so he took passage on a steamer heading South, 'just comfortably ahead of his dismissal'.
It was on that ship, the Margaret Johnson, homeward-bound via Central America into the Caribbean out through the Mona Passage into the Atlantic heading for the Azores, that the realisation of his character, Horatio Hornblower, took place. Its conception, his visualisation of a frigate Captain as the Man Alone happened some years earlier, when Forester picked up some bound copies of the Naval Chronicle, penned by naval officers of the late 1700s, bought a century later by the inventor of the ultimate naval officer in a dusty bookstore.
'The Happy Return' was the first Hornblower novel he wrote in 1937, followed by 'Ship of the Line' and 'Flying Colours' in 1938. At that point, he had no notion of a literary naval campaign, comprising 11 Hornblower books. But their popularity forced him eventually to rethink and reconstruct the naval career path, beginning with 'Mr Midshipman Hornblower' and ending with 'Hornblower in the West Indies' in his elevated rank of Lord Hornblower.
Over 40 years, Forester produced over 50 manuscripts, including authoritative non-fiction, two stage-plays and childrens books. Like Dickens, he was a natural storyteller, and used to write standing up, pacing his study like a Captain on his quarterdeck - his weaker condition handsomely compensated by Hornblower's brave heart.
