 | | Sir William Golding died in his home at Perranarworthal, near Truro, Cornwall on June 19, 1993 and was buried in Holy Trinity churchyard, Bowerchalke, Wiltshire, England. | | | Golding's often allegorical fiction makes broad use of allusions to classical literature, mythology, and Christian symbolism. | | | He was a fellow villager of James Lovelock in Wiltshire and when Lovelock was explaining his theory, Golding suggested calling it Gaia after the greek earth Goddess. |

| | William Golding Lord of the Flies Literary Criticism |
| | For Golding, the structure of a society is not responsible for the evil that erupts, or, at least, it is responsible only insofar as the society reflects the nature of the fallen man. | | | Golding himself has said the cause is nothing more than the inherent evil of man; no matter how well-intentioned he is, and no matter how reasonable a government he erects, man will never be able to permanently contain the beast within. | | | Although Fitzgerald and Kayser agree with Golding that the ultimate cause of the societal breakdown in Lord of the Flies is the evil (or sin) inherent in man, they suggest that there may also be a political reason. |

| | Breunig, William Golding and the State of Nature |
| | Golding in his novels seems to wish to refer to a condition of mankind in which man is rid of everything acquired and is quite himself. | | | But to both Golding and Rousseau it is possible even in the state of civilization to grieve for that original state which seems so utterly out of reach for civilized man, so that civilized thought may not be corrupt throughout. | | | To Golding the function of this language largely consists in evoking a 'picture' in the addressee which is not only to correspond to the speaker's 'picture' but is to be the same. |

| | Golding comes of a long line of schoolmasters, of whom one of the most distinguished was his father, Alec Golding, a polymath of whom he says, "I have never met anybody who could do so much, was interested in so much, and who knew so much.... | | | William Golding is one of the very few contemporary English novelists for whom greatness has ever been seriously claimed. | | | Stanley Edgar Hyman found Golding's touch unsure, but said "he is the most interesting British writer today, and he baits his hook for Leviathan." Hynes places his work "with the important symbolic novels of our century." Angus Wilson and Kermode have both referred to him as a great writer. |

| | Golding yearned to be like the characters in the fables and stories he read. | | | It taught us not fighting, politics or the follies of nationalism, but about the given nature of man." After the war Golding returned to teaching in a boys' school, which may explain why the characters in Lord of the Flies seem so real. | | | The book was not considered a success at first. |

| | Twentieth Century Literature: The artful equivocation of William Golding's The Double Tongue - Critical Essay |
| | But whereas Golding uses a contemporary setting to explore these issues in The Paper Men, The Double Tongue is, to use Northrop Frye's term, "displaced," a fact that comprises part of its postmodernist gesturing as its distinctly twentieth- century concerns at times deliberately collide against its historical setting. | | | Its publishers reassure the reader that it survives as a draft neither so incomplete as to be a mere fragment nor, on the other hand, as polished as Golding would undoubtedly have wished it to be had he lived to revise it. | | | Setting The Double Tongue in Greece in the first century BC is at once playful and purposeful, and the seriocomic presentation of the dilemmas facing the sacred and the political under Roman occupation barely conceals Golding's concern with the social identity of the late--twentieth--century writer and the crises of contemporary fiction. |

| | Contemporary Review: The fluctuations of William Golding's critical reputation - Critical Essay |
| | A modest provincial schoolmaster pushing middle age, Golding only had a small collection of poetry (which he later all but disowned) to his credit when his manuscript, Strangers from Within, did the rounds of twenty publishers before a reader at Faber and Faber recommended that his employers follow suit. | | | As these manuscripts were returned repeatedly without a flicker of interest, Golding began to write less with an eye to popular publication, a process that would bring him publication, celebrity, condemnation, and literary greatness. | | | In a historical sense, this refusal to conform to any particular paradigm has ensured Golding a place in the pantheon of writers who will be remembered long beyond their own times. |

| | Thus Golding anticipates postmodernist thought about the triumph of the image and the collapse of the real, at the same time as engaging with profound theological issues of death, sin and judgement. | | | The novel forcibly argues that we are responsible for the state of what we inherit, and uncannily anticipates contemporary “green” concerns. | | | In Pincher Martin (1956), Golding returned to the twentieth century, but fused contemporary references with the mythic power of The Inheritors. |
