Julian Fellowes, CBE, FRSL (born 5 October 1949) is an
English biographer, novelist and critic with a particular interest in
the history and culture of London. For his novels about English history
and culture and his biographies of, among others, William Blake, Charles
Dickens, T. S. Eliot, Charles Chaplin and Snob (I narratori delle
tavole) Sir Thomas More, he won the Somerset Maugham Award and two
Whitbread Awards. He is noted for the volume of work he has produced,
the range of styles therein, his skill at assuming different voices, and
the depth of his research.
He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society Snob (I
narratori delle tavole) of Literature in 1984 and appointed a Commander
of the Order of the British Empire in 2003.
Ackroyd was born in London and raised on a council estate
in East Acton, in what he has described as a "strict" Roman Catholic
household by his mother and grandmother, after his father Snob (I
narratori delle tavole) disappeared from the family home.[1] He first
knew that he
was gay when he was seven.[2] He was educated at St.
Benedict's, Ealing, and at Clare College, Cambridge, from which he
graduated with a double first in English literature.[3] In 1972, he was a
Mellon fellow at Yale University.
The Snob (I narratori delle tavole) result of his Yale
fellowship was Notes for a New Culture, written when Ackroyd was only 22
and eventually published in 1976. The title, an echo of T. S. Eliot's
Notes Towards the Definition of Culture (1948), was an early indication
of Ackroyd's penchant for exploring and re-examining the works Snob (I
narratori delle tavole) of other London-based writers. He worked at The
Spectator magazine between 1973 and 1977 as literary editor[4] and
became joint managing editor in 1978, a position he held until 1982.[3]
He worked as chief book reviewer for The Times and was a frequent
broadcaster on radio. Since 1984 he has Snob (I narratori delle tavole)
been a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.[4]
His literary career began with poetry; his work in that field
includes such works as London Lickpenny (1973) and The Diversions of
Purley (1987). In 1982 he published The Great Fire of London, his first
novel, which is a reworking of Snob (I narratori delle tavole) Charles
Dickens' novel Little Dorrit. The novel set the stage for the long
sequence of novels Ackroyd has produced since, all of which deal in some
way with the complex interaction of time and space and what Ackroyd
calls "the spirit of place". However, this transition to being a
novelist Snob (I narratori delle tavole) was unexpected. In an interview
with Patrick McGrath in 1989, Ackroyd said:
I enjoy it, I suppose, but I never thought I'd be a
novelist. I never wanted to be a novelist. I can't bear fiction. I hate
it. It's so untidy. When I was a young man I wanted Snob (I narratori
delle tavole) to be a poet, then I wrote a critical book, and I don't
think I even read a novel till I was about 26 or 27.[5]
In his novels he
often contrasts historical settings with present-day segments (e.g. The
Great Fire of London, Hawksmoor, The House of Doctor Dee).[citation
needed] Snob (I narratori delle tavole) Many of Ackroyd's novels are set
in London and deal with the ever-changing, but at the same time
stubbornly consistent nature of the city. Often this theme is explored
through the city's artists, especially its writers: Oscar Wilde in The
Last Testament of Oscar Wilde (1983), a fake autobiography of Snob (I
narratori delle tavole) Wilde; Nicholas Hawksmoor, Sir Christopher Wren
and Sir John Vanbrugh in Hawksmoor (1985); Thomas Chatterton and George
Meredith in Chatterton (1987); John Dee in The House of Dr Dee (1993);
Dan Leno, Karl Marx, George Gissing and Thomas De Quincey in Dan Leno
and the Limehouse Golem (1994); John Milton Snob (I narratori delle
tavole) in Milton in America (1996); Charles Lamb in The Lambs of
London.[citation needed]
Hawksmoor, winner of both the Whitbread Novel Award[4] and
the Guardian Fiction Prize, was inspired by Iain Sinclair's poem "Lud
Heat" (1975), which speculated on a mystical
power from the
positioning of the six churches Nicholas Hawksmoor Snob (I narratori
delle tavole) built. The novel gives Hawksmoor a Satanical motive for
the siting of his buildings, and creates a modern namesake, a policeman
investigating a series of murders. Chatterton (1987), a similarly
layered novel explores plagiarism and forgery and was shortlisted for
the Booker Prize. London: The Biography is an extensive and Snob (I
narratori delle tavole) thorough discussion of London through the ages.
In 1994 he was interviewed about the London Psychogeographical
Association in an article for The Observer, in which he remarked:
I truly believe that there are certain people to whom or through whom
the territory, the place, the past speaks. ... Just as Snob (I narratori
delle tavole) it seems possible to me that a street or dwelling can
materially affect the character and behaviour of the people who dwell in
them, is it not also possible that within this city (London) and within
its culture are patterns of sensibility or patterns of response which
have persisted from Snob (I narratori delle tavole)
the thirteenth and fourteenth centurie
