Autorenporträt

Hilaire Belloc was born in France in 1870. As a child he moved with his mother and siblings to England. Still a French citizen he did his military service in France before going to Oxford University where he was president of the Union debating society. He took British citizenship in 1902 and was a Member of Parliament for several years. A prolific and versatile writer of over 150 books, he is best remembered for his comic and light verse. But he also wrote extensively about politics, history, nature and contemporary society. Famously adversarial, he is also remembered for his long running feud with H. G. Wells. He died in in Surrey, England in 1953.
