Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·William Golding was born on September 19, 1911, in Saint Columb Minor, Cornwall, England. 

·Golding attended Brasenose College at Oxford University. His father wanted him to become a scientist, but Golding studied English literature instead. 

·In 1934, while still in college, Golding published his first book, a collection of poetry that was largely “overlooked by critics.” 

·Golding worked as an English and philosophy teacher at Bishop Wordsworth’s School in Salisbury. This time spent teaching young boys would influence his novel Lord of the Flies. 

·Golding left his teaching position in 1940 to fight in World War II as a member of the Royal Navy. 

·After being rejected 21 times by publishing houses, Golding published Lord of the Flies In 1954. 

·Lord of the Flies tells the story of unsupervised boys stuck alone on an island and the resulting power struggle between newly-formed tribes led by two boys, Jack and Ralph. 

·Lord of the Flies is considered a response to the horrors of World War II — with tribal and tyrannical symbolism spread throughout the novel. 

·William Golding received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983 “for his novels which, with the perspicuity of realistic narrative art and the diversity and universality of myth, illuminate the human condition in the world of today.” 

·Peter Brook’s film adaptation of Golding’s novel was released in 1963. The National Board of Review names it as one of the years Top Ten Films. A second film adaptation was released in 1990 directed by Harry Hook.  

·In 1988 William Golding was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for notable contributions to public life. 

·Lord of the Flies was named one of the 100 best novels of all time by The Guardian in 2015. 

·The initial printing of 3,000 copies failed to sell quickly, but eventually literary critic EM Forster selected the novel as his “outstanding novel of the year,” propelling the book to commercial success.
