词条 | Enright, D.J. |
释义 | Enright, D.J. British poet in full Dennis Joseph Enright born March 11, 1920, Leamington, Warwickshire, England died December 31, 2002, London British poet, novelist, and teacher. After receiving a master's degree at the University of Cambridge, Enright began a prolonged period of academic wandering, teaching English in Egypt (1947–50), Birmingham, England (1950–53), Japan (1953–56), Berlin (1956–57), Bangkok (1957–59), and Singapore (1960–70); from 1975 to 1980 he was an honorary professor at the University of Warwick. He was joint editor of Encounter in London (1970–72). Memoirs of a Mendicant Professor (1969) tells of his years abroad. Both Enright's poetry (Selected Poems, 1969) and his novels (Academic Year, 1955; Figures of Speech, 1965) reflect his life abroad and are anti-sentimental, as is his best-known collection of essays, Man Is an Onion (1972). Later poetry is based on literary works or themes, as Paradise Illustrated (1975) and A Faust Book (1979). He also wrote fiction for children, such as Joke Shop (1976) and Wild Ghost Chase (1978). He edited Poets of the 1950s (1955) and The Oxford Book of Contemporary Verse 1945–1980 (1980). |
