Mitchell, Adrian

    0.06 sec.

Mitchell, Adrian (1932– )

English writer. His witty and political work includes the verse collections Poems (1964), The Apeman Cometh (1975), For Beauty Douglas: Collected Poems 1953–1979 (1982), and Greatest Hits (1991). His work also includes several novels and a number of plays, including Tiger (1971) and Man Friday (1972; filmed 1975).

Mitchell was born in London and studied at Oxford University. He first came to notice with Poems (1955), a collection of politically committed, left-wing lyrics which recall the work of German writer Bertolt Brecht and English poet W H Auden. Among his novels is The Bodyguard (1970), a funny yet chilling science fiction story set in Britain in the 1980s. He has also written several television scripts.
