Early life and influences
Hall Caine was born in In 1870 his grandfather died and later that year Caine had a type of nervous breakdown. He gave up his job and went to the Isle of Man. His uncle, James Teare, was a schoolmaster there but was ill at the time and so Caine acted as an assistant teacher in his school. During this time he started to become influenced by the writings of He then left his employment with Murray and joined the building firm of Bromley & Son as a draughtsman. However he continued to spend much of his time in writing. With friends he formed the Notes and Queries Society, ostensibly to discuss the arts, but the Society was also used to discuss and spread political ideas. At this time Caine's political beliefs were in the area of Around this time he also became interested in environmental and conservation issues. He joined the 'Save Caine had come to be very impressed by the poems of The writer After Rossetti's death Caine gained an income by writing articles for the Liverpool "Mercury" while at the same time preparing a book about his time with Rossetti. This was entitled "Recollections of Dante Gabriel Rossetti"; it appeared in October 1882 and sold reasonably well. In 1883 "Cobwebs of Criticism" was published, a book about reviewers and whether or not their criticisms had been valid. During this time he was maintaining old friendships and building new ones with people who included It was at this time that Caine began to consider that his future might lie in writing fiction. [Allen, p. 164.] After appearing as a serial in the "Mercury", Caine's first novel "Shadow of a Crime" was published by Caine craved to be recognised as a man of letters [Allen, pp. 185, 268.] and to this end he wrote a In January 1890 the next novel was published after being serialised in the "Isle of Man Times". This was "The Bondman" which was published by During his career Caine travelled widely and used his experiences abroad in his writings. Places visited included Iceland, Morocco, Egypt, Palestine, Rome, Berlin, Austria and the Russian frontier. For many years Caine had been concerned about matters relating to In 1897 came the most successful novel yet, "The Christian". It was the first novel in Britain to sell over a million copies although once again it attracted much adverse publicity. As with most of his novels, it was first published in serial form, this time in the "Windsor Magazine" and then, dramatised by the author, produced as a play. The theme of the novel was the problems encountered by a young woman trying to live an independent life; it was the first time that Caine had taken up It was to be four years before the appearance of Caine's next work, "The Eternal City". This was set in In August 1902 King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra visited the Isle of Man. The Queen had enjoyed Caine's Manx novels and Caine was invited to join the royal couple on their yacht and to accompany them on their tour of the island the following day. "The Eternal City" opened as a play in October with incidental music by Mascagni. A few days after the London opening the Caines went to USA for the play's American opening in Washington, which was followed by a tour. In 1902 all of Caine's novels were still in print and towards the end of 1903 six companies were performing "The Eternal City", in England, USA, Australia and South Africa. However that year "Household Words" ceased publication. "The Prodigal Son" was published in November 1904, again by Heinemann, and in the same month it opened as a play at the Grand Theatre, Douglas. It was set mainly in Iceland, with scenes in London and the Caine's next major work of fiction was "The White Prophet" which was set in Egypt and which addressed the problems of colonial rule and attempted a synthesis of the world's religions. It appeared first in its stage version in Douglas in August 1908. On the first night one of the actors was ill and Caine himself took his part. It appeared as a book the following month. For the first time in a Caine novel, the strongest element was not romance, but rather adventure, with a degree of theological discussion. The book did not do as well as his previous ones. The next major work was "The Woman Thou Gavest Me", published in 1913, which "caused the biggest furore of any of his novels". [Allen, p. 351] Libraries objected to its morals, dealing as it did with the divorce laws of the time and attitudes towards illegitimacy. Once again it addressed the Woman Question. However it sold extremely well. It was reprinted five times before the end of the year when nearly half a million copies had been sold. Despite the storm of criticism, or maybe because of it, Caine's reputation as a novelist had been restored. The Great War In previous years Caine had edited books to raise money for Queen Alexandra's charities in 1905 and 1908. In 1914, following the outbreak of the Great War, he decided to produce another charity book, this time in support of the exiled King Albert of Belgium. [Caine, Hall (ed.), "King Albert's Book, a Tribute to the Belgian King and People from representative men and women throughout the World" (The Daily Telegraph, in conjunction with The Daily Sketch, The Glasgow Herald and Hodder & Stoughton, Christmas 1914) "Sold in aid of the Daily Telegraph Belgian Fund."] King Albert rewarded him by creating him an Officer of the Order of Leopold of Belgium. Caine tried to involve America in the war by writing articles, mainly for " Towards the end of 1917 Caine was offered a After the war Caine returned to writing novels and in 1921 Heinmann's published "The Master of Man: The Story of a Sin". It was set in the Isle of Man and involves Caine's last published work in his lifetime was a revised version of "Recollections of Rossetti" with a shortened title to coincide with the centenary of Rossetti's birth in 1928. In 1929 Caine was given the Freedom of Douglas. For the much of his life Caine worked on a book entitled "Life of Christ" but it was not published until some time after his death, in 1938 with a foreword by his two sons. It "aroused little or no interest and quickly disappeared". [Allen. p. 430.] Politics In 1901 Caine was elected a Member of the House of Keys as a Liberal for the constituency of Films Some of Caine's novels were made into The first version of "The Eternal City" was shot in 1915, and in 1923 the Samuel Goldwyn company shot a version in Italy. Caine was so unhappy with the later film that he tried to withdraw his name from it, unsuccessfully. [Brownlow, p.457.] More films were in progress, including "Darby and Joan". This was based on an old novella; it was produced by Master Films and again it starred Derwent. A film of "The Woman Thou Gavest Me" was made in 1919 by Famous Players and this drew good audiences and good reviews. "The Woman of Knockaloe" was filmed by Paramount in 1927 as "Barbed Wire". Then Personal and domestic In appearance Caine was a short man who tended to dress in a striking fashion. His eyes were dark brown and slightly protuberant, giving him an intense stare. He had red-gold hair and a dark red beard which he trimmed to appear like the Stratford bust of Shakespeare; indeed if people did not notice the likeness he was inclined to point it out to them. [Allen, pp. 35–36.] He was also preoccupied throughout his life with the state of his health. This was often the result of overwork or other stresses in his life and he would sometimes use nervous exhaustion as an excuse to escape from his problems. [Allen. pp. 24, 213.] Caine's concern about his health led him in his Liverpool days into involvement with Francis Tumblety, an American herbalist of dubious reputation. Caine was attractive to women and attracted by them, and was also attractive to men, including Tumblety. [Allen, pp. 38–42.] During his time in Liverpool Caine had a number of love affairs but nothing came of them. After Rossetti's death when he was living in rooms in Clement's Inn Caine came into contact with a girl named Mary Chandler. Following pressure from her stepfather, Mary came to live with Caine. She was aged 13 (which was at that time the In 1888 after the success of "The Deemster", the lease on Aberleigh House was nearing its end and Caine wanted to live in the Their second son, Derwent was born in 1891. Caine felt an urge to move to the Isle of Man and in 1893 they rented a castellated house which looked over the Douglas to Peel road called In 1902 the Caines rented a large house on Wimbledon Common, The Hermitage, and Mary spent much time there while Caine was abroad or at Greeba Castle. Rumours spread that the marriage was in trouble and, as many of his visitors were male, that Caine was homosexual. However there was never any reliable substance to this. [Allen, p. 292.] By 1906 the couple were leading increasingly separate lives but Mary remained loyal and faithful throughout. She preferred to live in London while Caine spent much time touring or staying at Greeba Castle. [Allen. p. 313.] In 1912 Derwent Hall Caine had an illegitimate daughter, Elin, and she was brought up as Caine and Mary's child. [Allen. pp. 348–50.] By 1914 Mary at last had her London house — Heath Brow which overlooked In August 1931 Hall Caine slipped into a coma and died aged 78 at Greeba Castle. On his death certificate was the diagnosis of "cardiac syncope". [Allen, p. 423.] He was buried in Kirk Maughold Postscript Caine's legacy Hall Caine was an author who was enormously popular and successful in his lifetime. Crowds would gather outside his houses to try to get a glimpse of him. He was "accorded the adulation reserved now for pop stars and footballers" [Allen, p.7.] and yet he is now virtually unknown. Allen suggests two reasons for this. First that, in comparison with Dickens, his characters are not clearly drawn, they are "frequently fuzzy at the edges" while Dickens' characters are "diamond-clear"; and Caine's characters tend to be much the same. Something similar could also be said about his plots. In addition, and possibly the main drawback, is that although Caine's books can be romantic and emotionally moving, they lack humour; rather they are deadly earnest and serious. [Allen, pp. 430–431] At one time the Isle of Man had a second civil airport near Ramsey which was called the Hall Caine Airport. It closed in 1939.
