WARP Final Draft - Robertson Davies
My WARP author is Robertson Davies. He was born in the year of 1913. At an early age he was introduced to literature and drama.
His nationality is Canadian, and he lived in the years of 1913 through 1995. His religion is unknown, but he is also an Englishman.
“He was born in Thamesville, Ontario. Growing up he was introduced to books, literature, and drama”. He married Brenda Mathews who he met at Oxford. When he returned to Canada in 1940 he became a literary editor for a magazine. Most of his novels began rolling out in the 1970s to 1990s.
He was influenced to write and make plays due to his interest in them starting in childhood. He also influenced by his father who was also a newspaper editor. His wife was also an influence for him to create plays because she was a play director. …show more content…
In his work he focuses on very realistic and hard to comprehend themes.
His work is more suited for older audiences because younger audiences would not understand his work. He has three trilogies and some other standalone books.
He was won many awards for his works such as “the Dominion Drama Festival Award for the best Canadian Play in 1948, Lorne Pierce Medal for” his literary achievements in 1955 for the second book in his Salterton Trilogy, etc.
I read some of his novel “The Cunning Man”. It was very complex and realistic. Some things “I didn’t get because I’m not Canadian nor do I live” there. It was entertaining but maybe will be more so if you know more about the world and society in Canada.
Once again he is a very great and well awarded author. Although he isn’t much known everywhere but mostly known in Canada, he should be known because his work is great and will
entertain.
