Yates is perhaps best remembered for his serial novels and for his successful career at Charles Dickens's weekly magazine, 'All the Year Round', where he gained considerable recognition. His aptitude for writing was complemented by his spirited and somewhat flamboyant personality, which often seeped into his characters and narratives. Yates's literary style was characterized by its wit, vivid character portrayals, and an engaging dialog that mirrored the society of his time. Among his works, 'The Forlorn Hope' (1867) stands out for its exploration of social themes and the psychological depth of its characters. The novel revolves around themes of ambition, love, and the pursuit of happiness, set against the backdrop of 19th-century England. Yates's preoccupation with the juxtaposition of moral dilemmas and personal fulfillment often found its way into the pages of his books, endearing him to a readership that valued the interplay of societal norms and individual desires.
