George Warwick

George Warwick Deeping (1877–1950), who wrote as Warwick Deeping, was an English novelist and short-story writer. Born in Southend-on-Sea, he studied medicine at Trinity College, Cambridge, completed his training at Middlesex Hospital, and served with the Royal Army Medical Corps during the First World War.

After working as a physician, he became a full-time writer. His early books often explored historical settings, while his later novels focused on modern life and controversial subjects including medicine, social inequality, war trauma, and family responsibility.

Deeping became one of the best-selling authors of the 1920s and 1930s. His best-known novel, Sorrell and Son (1925), was adapted for film several times and remains the work most closely associated with his name.
