Anita Brookner was born in
London in 1928. She received a
B.A. from King's College,
University of London, and a Ph.D.
in the history of art from the
Courtauld Institute. Brookner
taught at the University of
Reading from 1959 to 1964, and
since 1967 has been a Lecturer in
Art History at the Courtauld. From
1967 to 1968 she was Slade
Professor at Cambridge, the first
woman to hold that position.
Since her first novel was published in 1981,
Brookner has had
a dual career as an art historian and a novelist.
She has been
remarkably successful in both fields and has published
fourteen novels in as many years. Hotel du Lac,
her fourth
novel, won the Booker Prize, England's highest
honor for
fiction.
