Angus Wilson (1913–1991) worked as a deputy superintendent of the British Museum Reading Room before establishing a reputation with a collection of short stories, The Wrong Set. A novel, Hemlock and After, one of the first English books to describe the lives of gay men, brought more success, and Wilson began a prolific career as a writer of fiction, criticism, and reviews. He was a professor of English at the University of East Anglia and spent his last years in France.
Jane Smiley, winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, is the author of many novels and other works. In 2010 she published Private Life, a novel; A Good Horse, a book for young adults; and The Man Who Invented the Computer, the first volume of the Sloane American Inventors series.

An Angus Wilson revival is underway with the joint publication of Margaret Drabble's biography Angus Wilson and this reissue of Wilson's most brilliant work. First published to phenomenal success in 1956, Anglo-Saxon Attitudes is the complex story of a 60-year-old man and the failed elements of his life. Wilson depicts social relationships of English society with an unexpected bittersweet compassion.
