Patricia Craig (writer)

January 01, 1970

Patricia Craig (born 1940s[1][a]) is a writer, anthologist and literary critic from Northern Ireland, living in Antrim, County Antrim.

Personal life edit

She was born in Belfast to Nora (née Brady) and Andy Craig[7] and attended St Dominic's Grammar School for Girls[8] before studying at the Belfast School of Art and then at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, London (where she obtained a Diploma in Art & Design, Hons.). She returned to Northern Ireland in 1999.[7] She is married to the Welsh artist Jeffrey Morgan.[7]

Career edit

In the late 1960s, Craig was at Notre Dame Convent School in Battersea, working as an art mistress, but longed to have a literary career.[1] Since then, she has written memoirs, edited several anthologies and written articles for newspapers.[9] In London she began to collaborate with Mary Cadogan, editing several books on children's literature. Their first book, You’re a Brick Angela!, became a classic.[10]

On her return to Northern Ireland, she began to write books with an Irish theme. One of the first was a biography of Brian Moore which was described by the critic Seamus Deane as 'a crisp and intelligent account of a man and a writer for whom Craig's clean and incisive approach seems perfectly appropriate'.[11] Perhaps her most popular book was the memoir Asking for Trouble (1987) which details her schooldays, culminating in her expulsion from school.[8]

Awards edit

She was Honorary Lecturer at Queen's University Belfast where she was appointed to the Board of the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry.[12][9]

Notes edit

  1. ^ Craig stated that she was a 20-something in the late 1960s, which would have meant that she was likely born in the 1940s.[1] There are sources that state that her year of birth is 1952,[2][3] and in 2015, the Belfast Telegraph stated that she was 63, which would mean she was born about 1952.[4] One source states that she was born on 16 January 1949.[5] The Independent states that she was born after the war and grew up in the 1950s.[6] It is also believed that her year of birth was 1942.
