John Anthony Burgess Wilson, FRSL

John Anthony Burgess Wilson, FRSL (/ˈbɜːrdʒəs/; 25 February 1917 – 22 November 1993) – who distributed under the nom de plume Anthony Burgess – was an English essayist and arranger. From generally unobtrusive beginnings in a Catholic family in Manchester, he in the long run ended up plainly one of the best known English scholarly figures of the last 50% of the twentieth century.


In spite of the fact that Burgess was prevalently a comic essayist, his tragic parody A Clockwork Orange remains his best known novel. In 1971 it was adjusted into an exceedingly questionable film by Stanley Kubrick, which Burgess said was predominantly in charge of the fame of the book. Burgess created various different books, including the Enderby quartet, and Earthly Powers, viewed by most pundits as his most noteworthy novel. He composed lyrics and screenplays, including for the 1977 TV smaller than expected arrangement Jesus of Nazareth. He acted as an abstract faultfinder for a few distributions, including The Observer and The Guardian, and composed investigations of great essayists, strikingly James Joyce. A flexible language specialist, Burgess addressed in phonetics, and deciphered Cyrano de Bergerac, Oedipus Rex and the musical drama Carmen, among others.

Burgess likewise created more than 250 melodic works; he in some cases asserted to see himself as much a writer as a writer, in spite of the fact that he delighted in significantly more accomplishment in composing.
