Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0 (B), http: //www.uni-jena.de/ (Institute for Anglistics/American Studies), 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: William Gerald Golding was born at St Columb, Cornwall, on 19 September 1911. He died on 19 June 1993 in Truro, Cornwall. Golding became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1955 and was awarded the CBE in 1966. In 1980 he received the Booker Prize and in 1983 Golding was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His multiple interests were to a considerable degree present in his writing.

Evolution and religion, two of the themes, which reappear throughout Golding's writing, are addressed in The Inheritors. The most fundamental contribution to the evolutionary insight that man developed from animal, ape- like ancestors in the dim and distant past made Charles Darwin. His theory placed man at the top of evolution. Evolution became a synonym for progress. This new era of thinking influenced writers and provoked a strong reaction. One important example is The Outline of History by H.G. Wells, a rational supporter of the Darwinian theory. Deliberately prefixed to The Inheritors is the epigraph from The Outline of History. So the reader enters the novel with this passage in mind. ... We know very little of the appearance of the Neanderthal man, but this ... seems an extreme hairiness, an uglin
