William Golding Essay

Sir William Gerald Golding was an English novelist, play writer and poet
born in Newquay, England on the 19th of September of 1911. Although
he was born in Newquay he grew up in Marlborouh because his father
worked there as a science teacher at Marlborough Grammar School. His
father was a socialist who advocated science-inspired rationalism, who
didnt doubted a second on putting him and his brother into the school
he teached in. In 1930 he left to attend Brasenose College in Oxford to
study Natural Sciences for two years before switching to English
literature.
In 1953 after being rejected by many publishers he sent a manuscript to
Faber & Faber with was initially rejected by their reader, although
Charles Montieth championed his book and asked for some changes, in
1954 that manuscript was published with the name Lord of the Flies.

what he wrote about.
