| Novelist and playwright, born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, N England, UK. He studied at the Slade School of Art, London. The action of This Sporting Life (1960), his first novel, is set in the world of rugby league, and the characters of his play The Changing Room (1972) are footballers. The play Life Class (1974), is set in an art college. Other novels, such as Saville (1976, Booker), use autobiographical material from his Yorkshire mining country background, as does the play In Celebration (1969). Later plays include Early Days (1980) and The March on Russia (1989). His Collected Poems appeared in 1992. |
