(Jerome Klapka) 1859 1927 Jerome, Jerome Klapka Jerome, J. K. Jerome, J.K. Jerome, Jerome Clapp John Ingerfield, and Other Stories To the Gentle Reader -- In remembrance of John Ingerfield, and of Anne, his wife --The woman of the saeter -- Variety patter --Silhouettes -- The lease of the "Cross Keys". David Price "John Ingerfield and Other Stories" by Jerome K. Jerome is a collection of short stories written during the late 19th century. The stories appear to explore themes of human relationships, ambition, and societal expectations, with particular focus on the character of John Ingerfield, who is depicted as a businessman driven by success and wealth, yet struggling to connect emotionally in his marriage to Anne Singleton. At the start of the book, the narrator sets the tone by addressing the reader directly, indicating that some stories may not be intended for humor, which invites curious contemplation about their underlying messages. The opening tale, "In Remembrance of John Ingerfield, and of Anne, his Wife," describes the life of John Ingerfield, an oil and tallow refiner in London, whose relentless pursuit of wealth leads him to consider a practical marriage rather than one based on love. He seeks a wife through a friend, leading to the introduction of Anne Singleton, whose own emotional detachment complicates their relationship. Their marriage, based on an agreement rather than affection, becomes a canvas for exploring issues of duty and the human need for connection, setting a poignant stage for the ensuing events surrounding them.
