25. First World War.com - Prose & Poetry - John Buchan
John Buchan (18751940), statesman, publisher, journalist, biographer,poet and novelist, was born on 26 August 1875 in Perth, Scotland.
http://www.firstworldwar.com/poetsandprose/buchan.htm
Updated - Sunday, 2 September, 2001 John Buchan (1875-1940), statesman, publisher, journalist, biographer, poet and novelist, was born on 26 August 1875 in Perth, Scotland. Educated at Hutcheson's Grammar School and Glasgow University, Buchan had already begun his extensive publishing career by the time he won a scholarship to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Prize for poetry in 1898. During his time at Oxford Buchan, a workaholic, published five books and numerous articles, partly to raise funds in order to continue his studies. Despite his training as a lawyer (a profession he would later assign to the fictional character he created most in his own mould, Sir Edward Leithen), Buchan travelled to South Africa in 1901 to become Lord Milner’s private secretary (the High Commissioner) in the immediate aftermath of the Boer War. Sir Quixote of the Moors , was published in 1895. Whilst recovering from illness in the early part of 1914 Buchan wrote his most famous work, The Thirty-Nine Steps , which was serialised in Blackwood’s Magazine from July of that year. With its plot of German espionage it was highly topical and was an instant hit; never out of print it remains popular today, and has twice been produced for the cinema, including the 1935 Hitchcock version (whose plot revisions Buchan considered an improvement on his book).

He was a classicist at Oxford, read for the Bar but did not practice as a barrister, was a government administrator in South Africa after the end of the Boer War, was editor of The Spectator and war correspondent for The Times , was Member of Parliament for the Scottish Universities, a Director of Reuters, a director of Thomas Nelson's, the publishing house, and was His Majesty's High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, twice. He married into the minor aristocracy, had four children and was made a Baron (lowest rung of the British hereditary peerage) on receiving the appointment of Governor-General of Canada in 1935. He was very popular in his Canadian service, travelling all over the country to meet the people and see the land, Arctic to US border, east to west, and made important political links with President Roosevelt of the United States. He died of a brain haemorrhage while shaving, shortly after signing Canada's entry into the Second World War. And he wrote. By golly did he write.

    John Buchan
    John Buchan, first Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield, statesman, author and publisher, initially earned the respect of generals Louis Botha and Jan Smuts when, as a member of Milner's Kindergarten, he was responsible for the resettlement of the Boers after the Peace of Vereeniging. During the First World War, he served on the Headquarters Staff of the British Army in France and later as Director of Intelligence. He represented the Scottish Universities in Parliament before being raised to the peerage and posted to Canada as governor general in 1935. John Buchan was a most prolific writer with more than fifty titles to his name. These included adventure stories, several biographies, articles and reviews for magazines and newspapers, and an autobiography, Memory-hold-the-door, which appeared in 1940. However, Buchan's multifarious writings brought him under attack. Lloyd George, the British prime minister, recorded in his memoirs: These comments (which, in Liddell Hart's view, were `needlessly sharp') cannot be applied to the History of the South African Forces in France. In this case, Buchan went to great lengths to consult the primary sources. Most of the records generated by the South African Brigade were still in France; and to these Buchan had full access. Many of these archival sources have not been used by subsequent historians, with the result that Buchan's work remains the best documented study on this topic. This has perhaps inevitably targeted his work, causing many modern historians to quote freely and even dishonestly from it. Despite even recent attempts, Buchan's contribution remains the standard reference work on the South African brigade on the Western Front. It is well-researched and equally well-written; and after seventy-five years it is still unsupplanted.

    Buchan, John, First Baron Tweedsmuir (1875-1940). Author and Statesman. John Buchan was born in Perth on 26 August 1875, the eldest son of a Free Church Minister. His family moved to Fife in 1876, and in 1888 to Glasgow, where Buchan attended the Hutcheson's Grammar School. In 1892 he won a bursary to study at Glasgow University, where he was taught by the Classics scholar Gilbert Murray and the philosopher Henry Jones. In 1895 he won a scholarship to Braenose College, Oxford, where he took a first in Greats in 1899, and won the Newigate Prize in Poetry in 1898.
    In 1915 Buchan was appointed a member of the staff of The Times, and covered activities on the Western Front before joining the Intelligence Corps in France. After the First World War ended he became a director of Reuters, and in 1927 was elected an MP representing the Scottish Universities, a position he held until 1935. His literary career continued to flourish during this period: he wrote a novel a year between 1922 and 1936, produced biographies on James Graham (1928) and Sir Walter Scott (1932), and studies of general Gordon (1934) and Oliver Cromwell (1934).
    In 1933 Buchan was selected as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, a post he held until being appointed Governor General of Canada in 1935. He remained Governor General until his death in Ottawa on 12 February 1940. His last novel, Sick Heart River, was published posthumously in 1941. In all, Buchan produced over 30 novels, 7 short story collections, and almost 100 assorted works of non-fiction during his lifetime. he received several honours in recognition of his literary and political work, including honorary degrees from the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, St. Andrews and Oxford, and he was elected Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh in 1937.
