George Warwick Deeping was een productieve Engelse romanschrijver en korte verhalenverteller wiens latere werken probeerden de geest van het Edwardiaanse tijdperk te vangen. Zijn vroege fictie neigde vaak naar historische romans, terwijl zijn latere romans regelmatig thema's van stabiliteit en traditie verkenden. Deeping behaalde aanzienlijk commercieel succes en werd een van de bestverkopende auteurs van de jaren 1920 en 1930, hoewel sommige critici zijn neiging tot melodramatische plots opmerkten. Zijn proza kenmerkt zich door een klassieke verhalende stijl.
