Synopsis:

The second of two companion volumes, this title is arranged alphabetically and comprises some 700 entries containing information about writers from Peter Ackroyd to Benjamin Zephaniah. Each entry gives biographical summaries of the life and work of the most prominent novelists, poets and dramatists of the 20th-century writing in English. The biographies are deliberately anecdotal, even gossipy, and the book is unusual in containing complete, rather than selected, bibliographies.

About the Author:

Peter Parker was born in Herefordshire and educated in the Malverns, Dorset and London. He is the author of ‘The Old Lie: The Great War and the Public-School Ethos’ (1987) and biographies of J.R. Ackerley (1989) and Christopher Isherwood (2004). He writes about books and gardening for a wide variety of newspapers and magazines and lives in London's East End.
