Lawrence Durrell
Lawrence George Durrell (/ˈdʊərəl, ˈdʌr-/; 27 February 1912 – 7 November 1990) was an expatriate British novelist, poet, dramatist, and travel writer.
For much of his life, Durrell resisted being identified solely as British, or as only affiliated with Britain, and preferred to be considered cosmopolitan. It has been suggested in recent years, since his death, that Durrell never had British citizenship, though more accurately, he became defined as a non-patrial in 1968, as a result of an amendment to the Commonwealth Immigrants Act. Hence, he was denied the normal citizenship right to enter or settle in Britain under the new laws, and had to apply for a visa for each entry.
His most famous work is the tetralogy The Alexandria Quartet, particularly the first of the quartet's four novels, Justine.
Life and work
Durrell was born in Jalandhar, British India, the eldest son of Indian-born British colonials Louisa and Lawrence Samuel Durrell. His first school was St. Joseph's College, North Point, Darjeeling. At the age of eleven, he was sent to England, where he briefly attended St. Olave's Grammar School before being sent to St. Edmund's School, Canterbury. His formal education was unsuccessful, and he failed his university entrance examinations, but he began seriously writing poetry at the age of fifteen, and his first collection of poetry, Quaint Fragments, was published in 1931.

Meet Lawrence Durrell
"His legacy is a travel writer, but he always thought of himself as a poet," says Anthea Morton-Sanar, Lawrence Durrell's former literary agent. In this illuminating mini-documentary, Joanna Hodgkin, the daughter of Durrell's first wife, distinguishes Durrell's work from travel writing, saying: "He wasn't leaving home to go somewhere else. He was actually exploring different places as a temporary home." Durrell (1912-1990) is best known for the Alexandria Quartet, his acclaimed series of four novels set before and during World War II in Alexandria, Egypt. Watch Charles Sligh, co-chair for the Durrell 2012 centenary celebration, speak about the remarkable prose style of this series, describing its "tide-like rhythm."

Lawrence Durrell
Lawrence George Durrell (/ˈdʊərəl, ˈdʌr-/; 27 February 1912 – 7 November 1990) was an expatriate British novelist, poet, dramatist, and travel writer.
For much of his life, Durrell resisted being identified solely as British, or as only affiliated with Britain, and preferred to be considered cosmopolitan. It has been suggested in recent years, since his death, that Durrell never had British citizenship, though more accurately, he became defined as a non-patrial in 1968, as a result of an amendment to the Commonwealth Immigrants Act. Hence, he was denied the normal citizenship right to enter or settle in Britain under the new laws, and had to apply for a visa for each entry.
His most famous work is the tetralogy The Alexandria Quartet, particularly the first of the quartet's four novels, Justine.
Life and work
Durrell was born in Jalandhar, British India, the eldest son of Indian-born British colonials Louisa and Lawrence Samuel Durrell. His first school was St. Joseph's College, North Point, Darjeeling. At the age of eleven, he was sent to England, where he briefly attended St. Olave's Grammar School before being sent to St. Edmund's School, Canterbury. His formal education was unsuccessful, and he failed his university entrance examinations, but he began seriously writing poetry at the age of fifteen, and his first collection of poetry, Quaint Fragments, was published in 1931.
