Autorenporträt
Walter Lionel George (20 March 1882, Paris, France - 30 January 1926) was an English writer best known for his popular fiction, which explored feminist, pacifist, and pro-labor issues. Despite being born to British parents, George grew up in Paris and did not learn English until the age of twenty. His paternal grandfather was a Jew. In 1905, he relocated to London and became a journalist. The success of his first novel, A Bed of Roses (1911), about a woman's journey into prostitution, enabled him to devote himself entirely to literary pursuits. His subsequent publications were likewise well-received, with many requiring multiple editions and appearing on both sides of the Atlantic. George Orwell included George in a list of "natural" novelists who were not constrained by "good taste" in 1945, and he complimented Caliban (a fictionalized depiction of Lord Northcliffe's life) for its "memorable and truthful" portrayal of London society. According to Alec Waugh, he was economically successful, practical for aspiring authors, and hated in the literary establishment due to his subject matter, hack journalism, and left-wing ideas. Auberon Waugh believed that George's novel Children of the Morning (1926) may have had a subliminal influence on William Golding's celebrated Lord of the Flies (1954), despite the latter's denial of ever having read it.
