Wilson, A. N. ( Andrew Norman Wilson) (1950– ), novelist, biographer, and reviewer, born in Stone, Staffordshire, and educated at New College, Oxford. After abandoning training for the priesthood he became a teacher and then returned to Oxford to lecture in English. From 1981 to 1983 he was Literary Editor of the
Spectator. His novel writing began in a vein of slightly acid social comedy with
The Sweets of Pimlico (1977) and
Unguarded Hours (1978).
The Healing Art (1980), about a mistaken diagnosis of cancer, and
Wise Virgin (1982), a study of a father–daughter relationship, were followed by
Scandal (1983), and
Gentlemen in England (1985).
Incline Our Hearts (1989),
A Bottle in the Smoke (1990),
Daughters of Albion (1991),
Hearing Voices (1995), and
Watch in the Night (1996) form the Lampitt Papers Quintet.
The Vicar of Sorrows (1993) is the story of a disillusioned clergyman's infatuation with a New Age traveller. He has also written several biographies, including those of Hilaire
Belloc (1984) and C. S.
Lewis (1990). His controversial study of Jesus appeared in 1992.
Penfriends from Porlock (1988) is a collection of his literary criticism.
