A. N. Wilson Biography
| Birthday | Oct 27 |
| Birth Year | 1950 |
A. N. Wilson is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on October 27, 1950 in Stone, United Kingdom.
In the early 1990s, in the wake of the fatwa on Salman Rushdie and the continuing troubles in Northern Ireland, Wilson published a pamphlet, Against Religion, in the Chatto & Windus CounterBlasts series. He wrote biographies of Jesus and St Paul as well as a history of atheism in the 19th century entitled God’s Funeral, describing its growth as due to influences ranging from David Hume to Sigmund Freud. These and many other of his books, such as those on Leo Tolstoy (Whitbread Award for best biography of 1988), C. S. Lewis and Hilaire Belloc, are simultaneously sympathetic to religious belief and critical of it.
Wilson was born in Stone in Staffordshire to a father who became the managing director of Wedgwood, the pottery company. He was first educated at Hillstone School in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, and then at Rugby School from the age of 13, where he read Mao and Marx in his spare time. While at Rugby, he wrote an article for the school magazine arguing that public schools should be abolished. The national press became interested in the story, with the Daily Express headlining its account “Red rebel in Tom Brown’s school”. “Reporters arrived at the school gates, wanting to interview me, but my housemaster, wisely, would not let me talk to them”, Wilson told Hunter Davies in 1993. After New College, Oxford, he taught English at Merchant Taylors’ School, Northwood, for two years and then spent seven years as a lecturer in medieval literature at St Hugh’s College and New College, Oxford. He married the Shakespearean scholar Katherine Duncan-Jones in 1971. They had two daughters, Emily Wilson (born 1971) and Beatrice “Bee” Wilson (born 1974), and divorced in 1990.
