Bush's role in the novels is that of Hornblower's best friend and second-in-command.

But it is the last segment of the novel that really caught my attention: subversive isn't often a word that springs to mind when describing a swashbuckling tale of high adventure, but Forester certainly doesn't shy away from shedding light on the gross unfairness of a society that saw fit to promote the wealthy and well-connected while able officers of Hornblower's merit were left to languish on paltry peacetime wages once their services were no longer required.

Plus we get to watch Hornblower be endearingly awful at personal relationships. Uh-oh, it looks like your Internet Explorer is out of date. The ships are wooden and so are the characters, and Forester seems much more comfortable writing about the former, using lots of jargon that means nothing to the general reader.

A man who could assume an appearance of wrath and abandon it again with so much facility was not to be trusted. Lieutenant Hornblower published is the seventh Horatio Hornblower novel written by C.

William Bush , who becomes Hornblower's faithful companion and best friend, is introduced boarding HMS Renown as the third lieutenant. I did find the book entertaining though the action was rather ordinary and familiar. In the interest of full disclosure, I realised about twenty pages in that I had actually read this book before, roughly 30 or 35 years ago, as best I can recollect. Forester shows himself to be a real master of characterization here, especially with Hornblower and Bush who are very distinctive but equally real personalities, with their own virtues and faults , but with other characters as well.

A significant personal detail about Bush is that he has a mother and four sisters who live in a cottage in Chichester and depend upon Bush for their support.

  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

  • 1 WILLIAM BUSH – a LITERARY BIOGRAPHY Annual General
    WILLIAM BUSH – A LITERARY BIOGRAPHY Annual General Meeting, C.S. Forester Society, September 2017 Poor Bush. Hornblower’s devoted follower, who loses first his foot and later his life supporting his leader. The narrow-minded, unimaginative, but capable and loyal officer who passed for lieutenant on the strength of seamanship, despite his weakness in navigation. Last year, in Stockholm, I attempted to prove that Hornblower was an actual historical figure – not just a literary character based on a British captain or captains, but a real person. And I relied in part on the powerful proof that he was the subject of a scholarly biography by the respected C. Northcote Parkinson, which has actual footnotes; and that he was portrayed in a movie by Gregory Peck, who never lies. But today, I propose to do the opposite for William Bush. I propose to examine how Bush’s character developed through the Hornblower books; and what Forester thought of him; and, finally, to discover through the growth of his character the best order to read the books. And, as a hint, I’m going to discuss this by reviewing Bush’s career as it was written, not (so to speak) as it was lived. Early Character Development - BTQ, SOL, FC We first meet William Bush on the quarterdeck of the Lydia as it’s about to land on the coast of Nicaragua. The perfect landfall has nothing to do with Bush’s skill, or lack of skill – Hornblower had done the navigation himself, and he hadn’t even taken his first lieutenant into his confidence about the destination.

  • “Names from Hornblower”
    “Names from Hornblower” Introduction C S Forester, Hornblower’s biographer, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition he also wrote a Hornblower “companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were of course some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe in an enthralling and entertaining way what Hornblower did and what was in his mind as he encountered so much in his career. In the course of his life Hornblower came across many men and women from all levels and backgrounds. Various members of royalty and members of the aristocracy were encountered but the range of people extended from politicians, senior naval officers and soldiers to a multitude of seamen and various other “ordinary” people. Many individuals from other countries crossed his path. The three principal women in his life, his wives Maria and Barbara, and his mistress, Marie, are comprehensively portrayed as are the two men who gave him long and devoted service, Bush and Brown. Throughout the books and short stories, Mr Forester in most cases named the people who formed part of Hornblower’s life, however indirectly in some cases. The intention of the list of names that follows is to provide a helpful reference and background for the many keen and well-read followers of Hornblower.

  • HORNBLOWER FIRST to LAST Anachronisms from Beat to Quarters to Hornblower and the Hotspur
    HORNBLOWER FIRST TO LAST Anachronisms from Beat To Quarters to Hornblower and the Hotspur Ronald W. Meister Presented at the Annual General Meeting of the C.S. Forester Society Brest, France, September 2018 I’d like to talk today about something that distinguishes C.S. Forester from other British writers of fiction; something that adds particular pleasure to reading Hornblower as a whole chronological series. It seems that many British authors have difficulty maintaining a consistent chronology for their characters as the authors and their characters age. The most extreme example may be another nautical novelist writing about the Napoleonic Wars, Richard Patrick Russ -- otherwise known as Patrick O’Brian. Mr. O’Brian ran into a very big problem with his series, because he so quickly got up to 1813 that he had to set the next 11 books all in the same year before he ran out of Napoleon. So he had to invent a series of fictional years, like 1813A and B, to fit in all the action. Then we have Arthur Conan Doyle. He has his own fan club, too, the Baker Street Irregulars, and I can report from attending one of their annual meetings that they are very intense. But Conan Doyle got tired of his hero, and he somehow thought that writing science fiction and proving the existence of fairies were his best work. So he prematurely bumped off his hero, and thereby infuriated his readers. To placate them, he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles, but he had to call it a “memoir” of Sherlock Holmes, set in 1889, two years before Holmes’s apparent death.

  • From Hells Afloat to Happy Ships: Naval Fiction's Influence Upon The
    From Hells Afloat to Happy Ships: Naval Fiction’s Influence Upon the History of the Royal Navy during the Georgian Era Kelly Kathleen Chaves De la représentation du dix-neuvième-siècle de “l'enfer à flot” à la description du 21ème siècle des “bateaux heureux," le ton de l'histoire sociale navale a changé nettement avec le temps. Ce changement, autant progressif que radical, de l'historiographie a été occasioné par l'influence de la fiction navale de Smollett, de Forester et d'O'Brian. En examinant chronologiquement les contributions fictives des auteurs indiqués et de la littérature scolaire de la marine royale de 1748-2007, cet article argue du fait que le ton et l'emphase de l'histoire sociale navale a été toujours influencée par la fiction navale populaire du jour. “Don’t talk to me of naval tradition!” Winston Churchill reputedly snapped as he stormed out of a Cabinet meeting in 1914, “The only traditions of the Royal Navy are rum, sodomy and the lash.”1 While rum, sodomy and the lash existed in equal proportions in the Georgian Navy to which Churchill referred, the early social history of the Royal Navy originally presented no more than this bleak trilogy. In this version of history, sailors suffered under sadistic captains who enjoyed ordering floggings; the sailors debauched innocent youths sent to sea and numbed themselves with grog, the 1 I would like to thank Roger Knight and N.A.M.

  • Historical Hermeneutics in Horatio Hornblower
    HISTORICAL HERMENEUTICS IN HORATIO HORNBLOWER Ronald W. Meister Presented at the Annual General Meeting of the C.S. Forester Society and the Meeting of the Horatio Hornblower Society of Sweden – Stockholm, September 6, 2016 Good evening. My name is Ron Meister. Thank you to Ludwig and to our Swedish hosts for arranging this wonderful conference, and for allowing me a few minutes to speak to you. In real life I’m a lawyer in New York. I’ve been reading C.S. Forester for over fifty years. When I was in the United States Navy, the only books I had on my desk were the paperback editions of Hornblower, which I used for legal research. When I learned that there were five Hornblower short stories not in the books, and one of them could be found only in the British Library, I had to come to London and become a member of the British Library to read it. And to do that, I had to convince the Library that I was a scholar. So I’m happy to tell you that while to most people I am just another New York lawyer, to this honorable group I am a certified Hornblower scholar. I think an explanation is in order for the very pedantic title of this talk. And it is only polite to our hosts to translate “hermeneutics” into Swedish. So I did what you are supposed to do to answer any question – I went on Google Translate and put in “hermeneutics.” And I found out that the Swedish word for hermeneutics is – “hermeneutics.” So now I have to translate hermeneutics in Swedish back into English.
