English Literature] was the son of Dr T. B. Young, of Halesowen, West Midlands. He won the Sands Cox Scholarship to Birmingham University. Francis Brett Young was one of England’s greatest regional novelists. He wrote thirty novels, four collections of short stories and three volumes of poetry. His novels, My Brother Jonathan, Portrait of Clare, and The YoungPhysician became best sellers. Francis Brett Young’s experiences at Epsom are closely paralleled by those of Edwin Ingleby in The Young Physician and in Wistanlow (published posthumously in 1956). Writing to the Headmaster of Epsom College, Henry Franklin, in 1951, Francis Brett Young remembered his time at the College. “I left the school with a love for Latin and Greek, which I owed entirely to the inspiration of Hart-Smith. I did, indeed, know a great deal of Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus by heart, together with a mass of Virgil and Catullus besides having saturated myself with English poetry.” When the eminent surgeon, Jordan Lloyd, considered sending his son to Epsom, he sought Brett Young’s advice. “Is Epsoma good school?” says he. “The best in England,” I reply, “but don’t send a delicate boy there – it’s a rough place.” And so it was, by Jove, in my day.” During the First World War he served as a Major in the R.A.M.C. in East Africa and Egypt, and after a period of general practice in Brixham, Devon, he abandoned his medical career, and in 1919 removed to Capri, where he began a series of novels with a Midlands setting. In 1945 he moved again, this time to South Africa, where he settled at Montagu in the Lesser Karoo. Sir John Squire, discussing the many aspects of Francis Brett Young’s art in an article of literary criticism written many years ago, made a statement that is clearly not without importance. “There is no living English novelist worth more to his credit. He is a poet with a sense of fact, a feeling for history and an interest in character; the combination is rare. He is also a doctor and doctors know a great deal.” Francis Brett Young died on March 28th, 1954 and his ashes are interred in the north transept of Worcester Cathedral.
