Chris Arthur

Chris Arthur is the author of seven previous essay collections, most recently HUMMINGBIRDS BETWEEN THE PAGES (2018) and READING LIFE (2017). He was born in Belfast and grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Following a period working as warden on a nature reserve on the shores of Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the British Isles and Northern Ireland's enigmatic geographical heart, he went to university in Scotland. After completing his MA and PhD, he spent some time as a TV researcher and then as a schoolteacher, before taking up academic posts at the Universities of Edinburgh and St Andrews. On being appointed to a lectureship at what was then St David's University College (later the University of Wales, Lampeter), he moved to Welsh-speaking rural Ceredigion and lived there for over a decade before returning to Scotland to concentrate full-time on his writing. In 2014 he became a Fellow with the Royal Literary Fund. His writing has resulted in numerous prizes, including the Theodore Christian Hoepfner Award, the Monroe K. Spears Essay Prize, the Akegarasu Haya International Essay Prize, Times Higher/Palgrave Macmillan Writing Prize in the YYUH Humanities, and the Gandhi Foundation's Aitchtey Memorial Essay Prize. Publishers Weekly called Arthur's work "proof that the art of the essay is flourishing," and Robert Atwan described him as "among the very best essayists in the English language today."
