About the Author

Maureen Duffy is a British poet, playwright and novelist. After a tough childhood, Duffy took her degree in English from King’s College London. She was a schoolteacher from 1956 to 1961, and then turned to writing full-time as a poet and playwright.

Her London trilogy comprises, firstly, Wounds, set in South London during the early period of Afro-Caribbean immigration; secondly, Capital tells the history of London from Neolithic times through tales of Saxon kings, anonymous invaders, the flea that spread the Black Death and the transsexual King Elizabeth; and finally Londoners follows Dante's Inferno, canto by canto, through modern gay London.

Duffy is the author of 33 published works, including seven collections of poetry, non-fiction and 16 plays for stage, screen and radio; she is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and of King’s College London, a Vice President of the Royal Society of Literature, and holds honorary DLitts from the universities of Loughborough and Kent.
A new collection, Environmental Studies, was published by Enitharmon in April 2013 and was longlisted for the Green Carnation Prize 2013.
