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.
