Noel Malcolm Biography

Noel Malcolm is one of the most popular and richest Historian who was born on December 26, 1956 in Surrey, England, United Kingdom. Malcolm is born December 26, 1956. Malcolm was educated at Eton College, an all-boys public school in Windsor, Berkshire, as an King’s Scholar. He was a student of history in Peterhouse, Cambridge between 1974 between 1974 and 1978. He was awarded the PhD diploma in History while studying at Trinity College, Cambridge.

He quit journalistic work in the year 1995, to pursue a career as a scholar and writer and was appointed an academic fellow at St Antony’s College, Oxford for two years. He was elected an associate of the Royal Society of Literature (FRSL) in 1997 and a member of the British Academy (FBA) in 2001. Since 2002, he’s been an associate research fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. He was knighted in 2014’s New Year Honours for services to scholarship, journalism in addition to European history.

Malcolm’s book Kosovo: A Short History (1998) saw robust debate among historians following its release. For example, the merits of the book were the subject of an extended debate in Foreign Affairs. The debate began with the review of the book by the former Fellow of the Russian Research Center at Harvard University, Aleksa Djilas. He wrote that Malcolm’s book was “marred by his sympathies for its ethnic Albanian separatists, anti-Serbian bias, and illusions about the Balkans”. Malcolm responded by claiming that Djilas had not produced any evidence to counter that produced in the book, and had instead resorted to belittling both Malcolm and his work, including the use of personal slurs and patronising language. The debate continued with Serbian- born Professor Stevan K. Pavlowitch of the University of Southampton asserting that Malcolm’s book lacked precision, Melanie McDonagh of the Bosnian Institute claimed that Djilas’ review took a “nationalistic approach”, and Norman Cigar of Marine Corps University stating that Djilas was trying to create myths to legitimise Serbian actions in Kosovo.

In 1999, the Serbian-American poet Charles Simić wrote a letter to the London Review of Books criticizing Malcolm’s failure to protest against vandalism and destruction of Serb cultural sites in Kosovo, despite Malcolm having made a prior statement that they should be cared for (a statement which Simić also noted in his letter). Later the same year, Thomas Emmert of the history faculty of Gustavus Adolphus College, Minnesota reviewed the book in Journal of Southern Europe and the Balkans Online and while praising aspects of the book also asserted that it was “shaped by the author’s overriding determination to challenge Serbian myths”, that Malcolm was “partisan”, and also complained that the book made a “transparent attempt to prove that the main Serbian myths are false”. Malcolm responded in the same journal in early 2000, asserting that the book challenged both Albanian and Serbian myths about Kosovo, but that there were more Serbian myths about Kosovo than Albanian ones and this explained the greater coverage of Serbian myths in the book. He also observed that Emmert’s perspective and work was largely within the framework of Serbian historiography, and that Emmert’s own perspective was the reason for Emmert’s assertion that Malcolm was “partisan”.

In 1995, he resigned from journalism in order to become a full-time author. Malcolm was an honorary Fellow at St Antony’s College, Oxford between 1995 and 1996, and was as a research scholar senior at All Souls College, Oxford since 2002. Malcolm is as an advisory board member of the magazine of conservatives Standpoint.
