Condition: Wie neu. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 438 (2) Seiten. 21 x 13 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Rambow, Lienemeyer, van de Sand. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. - Sir Angus Wilson (als Angus Frank Johnstone-Wilson geboren am 11. August 1913 in Bexhill, East Sussex; gestorben am 31. Mai 1991 in Bury, Suffolk) war ein englischer Schriftsteller. Zeitgenössisch galt Wilson als einer der bedeutendsten englischen Romanciers nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs. In seinen Werken griff er häufig in satirischer Überspitzung Konflikte der englischen bürgerlichen Gesellschaft in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts auf. . Werk und Rezeption: Die ersten Veröffentlichungen Wilsons, zwei Bände mit Erzählungen (The Wrong Set 1949, Such Darling Dodos 1950), machten den Autor schlagartig in Großbritannien und den USA berühmt, er wurde fortan wahrgenommen als hellsichtiger und scharfzüngiger Beobachter der Frustrationen und Probleme des englischen Bürgertums der Kriegs- und Nachkriegsjahre.[8] Wilsons Biografin Margaret Drabble erinnert sich daran, dass ihr erster, überwältigender Leseeindruck der Erzählungen darauf beruhte, dass Wilson einerseits vor nichts und niemandem Respekt zeigte, dass er andererseits gleichzeitig grausam und einfühlsam seinen Figuren gegenüber sein konnte.[9] Wilson war einer der ersten englischsprachigen Schriftsteller, die offen und gänzlich unspektakulär Homosexualität in ihren Werken thematisierten, so schon in seinem ersten Roman Hemlock and After von 1952, einer Darstellung homosexuellen Lebens im Großbritannien der Nachkriegszeit. Der Roman erkundet sexuelle Moralvorstellungen anhand der Erlebnisse eines bisexuellen Protagonisten zwischen gescheiterter Ehe und homosexuellen Affären. In den USA, wo die früheren Erzählungen gefeiert worden waren, war das Werk durch den amerikanischen Verlag Wilsons, William Morrow, wegen dieser Inhalte zunächst abgelehnt worden, der Roman wurde dann aber nach der Veröffentlichung bei Viking mehrfach neu aufgelegt, der Autor wurde als der neue Hüter liberalen Gewissens" angesehen.[10] Auf diese düstere Parabel"[11] folgte 1956 Anglo-Saxon Attitudes, eine satirische Gesellschaftskritik des englischen Universitätslebens, in der Fülle der Charaktere und der unverstellten Härte der Darstellung an Charles Dickens erinnernd.[12] Im dritten Roman, The Middle Age of Mrs Eliot (1958), erzählt Wilson von den schmerzhaften Selbstfindungsprozessen seiner Titelheldin, einer Frau des englischen Mittelklassen-Bürgertums, die nach dem sinnlos erscheinenden Tod ihres Ehemannes in eine plötzliche tiefe Krise gerät und sich gleichzeitig sozialem Abstieg gegenübersieht. Der Roman wurde mit dem James Tait Black Memorial Prize ausgezeichnet.[13] Wilson hatte mit diesem Roman eine neue Leserschicht erreicht, die Mittelschicht im mittleren Alter",[14] und weiter an internationaler Reputation gewonnen; Rudolf Walter Leonhardt erwartete anlässlich der deutschen Übersetzung 1960, dass Wilson nun auch in Deutschland zum Erfolgsautor werde.[15] Der Autor galt mit diesen Werken international als einer der wichtigsten englischen Erzähler der Nachkriegszeit;[16] in einer redaktionellen Notiz des Spiegel anlässlich der deutschsprachigen Erst-Veröffentlichung einer Sammlung von Kurzgeschichten unter dem Titel Was für reizende Vögel wurde Wilson schon 1959 als bekanntester Gesellschaftskritiker des heutigen England" bezeichnet.[17] Der gute Ruf bei der Literaturkritik blieb Wilson zunächst erhalten, der Publikumserfolg dagegen schwand schon mit dem nächsten, erzählerisch experimentellen, allegorischen Zukunftsroman The Old Men at the Zoo (1961), einer politischen Satire über eine kriegerische Auseinandersetzung zwischen England und anderen europäischen Mächten. Auch mit den folgenden Romanen Late Call (1964) und vor allem mit No Laughing Matter (1967) blieb Wilson noch im Gespräch, die Werke wurden von der literarischen Kritik hochgelobt aber sie verkauften sich nicht mehr. Die letzten beiden Romane As If By Magic (1973) und Setting the World on Fire (1980) werden von Margaret Drabble als kompromisslose Aufbrüche" charakterisiert sie konstatiert aber auch, dass die Werke kaum noch zur Kenntnis genommen wurden.[18] Von der ehemals hohen Wertschätzung durch die Leser und die literarische Kritik war in den letzten Lebensjahren Wilsons wenig geblieben. Als Wilson 1985 verbittert nach Frankreich auswanderte, war er zwar noch ein angesehenes Mitglied des britischen literarischen Establishments 1980 war er aufgrund seiner Verdienste um die englische Literatur in den persönlichen Adelsstand erhoben worden,[19] seit 1982 war er Präsident der Royal Society of Literature , aber seine Dichtungen waren nicht mehr nachgefragt und wurden nicht mehr verlegt. Eine von Freunden nach seinem Tod zum Druck gebrachte Ausgabe gesammelter Werke blieb erfolglos.[20] Wilson geriet in Vergessenheit, wurde zum großen, aber unbekannten Romanschriftsteller".[21] .
