Ivy Compton-Burnett Biography Ivy Compton Burnett was born in 1884 and wrote books about the relationships between family members. She was a sibling to 13 other children. Six of which were half-siblings. Ivy's father, a homeopathic physician, Dr. James Compton Burnett, remarried to Katharine Compton Burnett after his wife died. Ivy was the first to be born by Katharine and James. Ivy was very close to her younger brothers Guy and Noel. They played together and learned Latin and Greek together. Unfortunately in 1901, when Ivy was 16 her father died of a heart attach. This brought Katharine into depression, which was taken out on Ivy. Katharine made her children dress in black and isolated herself from the outside world. Ivy continued on to London University, like her father encouraged her to do before he died. IN 1904, her last year of college, Guy died of pneumonia. He was Ivy's mother's favorite. Noel and Ivy developed a strong bond dealing with the death. Noel left for London three years later, leaving Ivy at home with her mother and four younger sisters to take care of. Ivy's mother died of cancer in 1911. Ivy was left to care for the house and her sisters. In 1914 Noel joined the Army and was killed two years later in the battle of Somme. He had left Ivy for good. This was very hard for Ivy to deal with. Up until her death she could not talk of her brother or the war with out tears flooding her eyes. Shortly after in 1915 all four sisters ran away to London. In 1917 on Christmas day, two of the sisters killed themselves. The following summer a flue epidemic almost killed Ivy. She slowly recovered from sickness and loss over the next few years. Those years she refers to as the death in life years.

IVY COMPTON-BURNETT, 1892-1969, British author Finding-Aid for the Ivy Compton-Burnett Papers Papers, ca. 1944-1969. 167 items Access: Open Dame Ivy Compton-Burnett was one of the most prolific British novelists of her time as she produced well over 20 novels during her career. Born in Middlesex in 1892, compton-Burnett published her first novel, Delores , in 1911, but did not produce another until Pastors and Masters , published in 1925. Beginning with the publication of her third novel in 1930, however, Compton-Burnett produced a new book nearly every two years until her death in 1969. Compton-Burnett novels deal exclusively with life in the confines of family and school and are set in Victorian and Edwardian England. Her work consists largely of dialogue, which carries the burden of exposition, description, and narration. For this reaso Compton-Burnett's novels have made excellent sources for radio dramas; several have been adapted for radio and one, A Heritage and Its History , for the stage.

IVY COMPTON-BURNETT THE EARLY YEARS Childhood and Youth INTRODUCTION FAMILY HISTORY CHILDHOOD DEATHS ... AN ABNORMAL CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH? INTRODUCTION 'Autobiography is not in my line and my life has to the outside eye been uneventful.' - I.C.B. What sort of woman could write such idiosyncratic works, and what experiences gave her such a bleak but comic view of the human condition and of tyranny within the family? These questions, which soon occur to any reader of her novels, were unanswered In her lifetime. She was prepared to say little about her past life or even to discuss her novels. Below her photograph on the back cover of a 1958 paperback edition of one of her novels she wrote: 'I have had such an uneventful life that there is little to say...' Fortunately for posterity, Hilary Spurling embarked on a major biography within a few years of her death. She must have been discouraged by the sight of her private papers - a shoebox half-full of engagement diaries and fan-mail. It is a tribute to her research that she was able to write two substantial volumes of biography, based on many interviews with friends and in particular with two surviving sisters, willing to give details of her early years. This summary of her childhood and young adult life leans heavily on Mrs Spurling's work, and attempts to let the facts speak for themselves in quotations from those who knew her, and from Dame Ivy herself in comments she made to friends. Mrs Spurling relates much of her subject's life to episodes in particular novels. Her speculations are usually convincing, but I have avoided using them.

NYRB home About NYRB Authors Browse ... Special offers Ivy Compton-Burnett Ivy Compton-Burnett (1892-1969) wrote over fifteen novels about the upper classes of the late Victorian period. The novels are constructed almost entirely of seemingly banal dialogue that eventually reveals, beneath its surface, the truths of human nature and insights into human relationships which Compton-Burnett took as her themes. Her works include Pastors and Masters, A Family and a Fortune, Manservant and Maidservant, and A House and Its Head A House and Its Head A House and Its Head is Ivy Compton-Burnett's subversive look at the politics of family life, and perhaps the most unsparing of her novels. Manservant and Maidservant At once the strangest and most marvelous of Ivy Compton-Burnett's fictions, Manservant and Maidservant has for its subject the domestic life of Horace Lamb, sadist, skinflint, and tyrant.

IVY COMPTON-BURNETT D.B.E IVY COMPTON-BURNETT was born in Pinner near London; her father was an eminent homeopathic doctor and Ivy was the eldest of his second family. She had three half sisters and 2 half brothers but was soon joined by two full brothers and two sisters. The large family moved to 30 First Avenue in Hove in 1891 because Doctor Burnett had a high opinion of Brighton sea air as beneficial to childrens' health and in 1897 they moved again to 20 The Drive in 1897. Dr Compton-Burnett died in 1902 and Ivy left home to study at the Royal Holloway College for Women in Egham, Surrey; she graduated in 1906. But she then returned to Hove to help with the education of the younger children. The family lived in seclusion, almost imprisoned by the widowed Mrs Compton-Burnett who had imposed a rule of withdrawal from social life; her experiences formed the basis for the intense and dramatic scenes of Edwardian family life with their secret, dark and tragic relationships which Ivy later described so intensely in her novels. Not one of the Compton-Burnett children, boys or girls,had their own family. Both her two (full) brothers died young, one of illness and the second in the Great War. The two youngest sisters died together in a joined suicide pact. Ivy left Hove forever in 1914, heading for London, and in 1919 met Margaret Jourdain the writer and antiquarian.. Ivy continued to write successfully and they lived together in a wide circle of writers and musicians until Margaret's death in 1951. In 1967 Ivy was awarded the D.B.E. and elected as a Companion of the Royal Society of Literature. She wrote 20 novels in her lifetime and died in 1969 in London.
