Silas Kitto Hocking (1850-1935) was a popular British novelist and preacher in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in St Stephen-in-Brannel, Cornwall, on March 24, 1850, he was the brother of fellow writers Salome Hocking and Joseph Hocking. His early works were closely tied to his Wesleyan faith, a denomination of Christianity that influenced many of his moral and social themes. Hocking's novels often appealed to the tastes and concerns of the middle and working classes of his day, dealing with issues like poverty, alcoholism, and the value of education. 'The Squire's Daughter', a notable work in Hocking's oeuvre, reflects his literary style that blends storytelling with moral overtones, offering readers both entertainment and edification. Hocking wrote over 100 novels, and by the 1890s, it was said that his sales exceeded a million copies—a significant achievement for any author of the era. His emphasis on Christian morality, coupled with a flair for dramatic narratives, helped secure his position as a household name in British literature of the time. Despite the decline in popularity after his death, Hocking's work remains a fascinating reflection of the social attitudes and literary tastes of turn-of-the-century England.
