Summary: "Life of Frederick Marryat" by David Hannay is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the life and career of Frederick Marryat, a notable English novelist known for his naval tales. It explores Marryat's upbringing, his experiences at sea, and his literary contributions, providing insight into the man behind works such as "Mr. Midshipman Easy" and "Frank Mildmay," which draw heavily from his naval adventures. The opening of the narrative introduces Marryat's background, highlighting his birth in Westminster and his family lineage, which includes influential figures in the world of politics and literature. It touches on his tumultuous childhood, marked by a dreary view of school life and a rebellious spirit that led him to run away to sea multiple times. Eventually, his father's decision to send him into the navy places him on a path that includes serving under the esteemed Captain Lord Cochrane on the frigate "Impérieuse". This formative period is elaborated upon, setting the stage for Marryat's later adventures that would inspire his writing career. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
