This is the first biography of Dame Muriel
Spark.
Born in
1918
into a working-class
Edinburgh family, Muriel Spark ended her
life as the epitome of literary chic, one of
the great writers of the twentieth century. It
is a Cinderella story, the first thirty-nine
years of which she presented in her
autobiography, Curriculum
Vitae
(1992),
politely blurring the intensity of her darker
moments: her relations with her brother,
mother, son, husband; a terrifying period of
hallucinations and subsequent depression;
and the disastrously misplaced love she had
felt for two men she had wanted to marry,
Howard Sergeant and Derek Stanford.
Aged nineteen, Spark left Scotland to marry
in Southern Rhodesia, escaping back to
Britain on a troopship in
1944
after her
divorce. Her son returned in
1945
to be
brought up by her parents in Edinburgh
while she established herself as a poet and
critic in London. After becoming a Roman
Catholic in
1954,
she began a novel, The
Comforters
(1957),
and with Memento
Mori, The Ballad ofPeckham Rye and The
Bachelors rose rapidly into the literary
stratosphere. The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
(1961),
with its adaptation into a successful
stage-play and film, marked her full
translation into international celebrity. From
that point she went to live first in New York,
then Rome, and finally Tuscany where for
over thirty years, until her death in
2006,
she shared a house with the artist Penelope
Jardine.
In
1992
Spark invited Martin Stannard to
wnte her biography, offering interviews and
full access to her papers. The result is a
compelling portrait.
