Revision as of 13:47, 21 January 2002 by Tarquin (talk | contribs) (note about links)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Sir William Golding (September 19 1911 - 1993) is a English novelist and poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983.
Born in Newquay, Cornwall and educated at Oxford University. He served in the Royal Navy and was a teacher and lecturer. His major published works are: Poems (1934), Lord of the Flies (1954), The Inheritors (1955), Pincher Martin (1956), Free Fall (1959), The Spire (1964), The Hot Gates (1965), Darkness Visible (1979), A Moving Target (1982) and the To The Ends of the Earth trilogy - Rites of Passage (1980), Close Quarters (1987), and Fire Down Below (1989).
- The list of authors in Novelists has him as William G. Golding. I fixed the link in Lord of the Flies; so either this page's name needs to be changed or both links need the middle initial removing.
