Penelope Fitzgerald (17 December 1916 - 28 April 2000) was a Booker Prize-winning English novelist, poet, essayist and biographer.[...]She was the daughter of Punch editor Edmund Knox and the niece of theologian and crime writer Ronald Knox, cryptographer Dilly Knox and Bible scholar Wilfred Knox.[...] She launched her literary career in 1975, at the age of 58, when she published a biography of pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898). "The Bookshop" (1978), which was shortlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize, concerned a struggling bookstore in the fictional East Anglian town of Hardborough; set in 1959, the novel includes the shop's decision to stock Lolita as a pivotal event. Fitzgerald won the Booker Prize with 1979's "Offshore" [...] The Beginning of Spring (1988) takes place in Moscow in 1913, examining the world just before the Russian Revolution through the family and work troubles of a British small businessman who was born and raised in Russia.
PS to: " he picked up one or two letters from the violated upper-case, and from habit let them fall into what could have been their right places[...] Tomorrow I shall start downstairs with the monotype. Onto the folded apron he put his composing stick, his setting-rule, his shears, the sponge, and the bodkin in its cork for removing wrong letters, and with two movements of his hands made them into a compact parcel [...] I shall throw them in the river." (CF.Penelope Fiztgerald, "The Beginning of Spring",pg 40-122,Flamingo, 1989)
