Edith Mary Lutyens (1908 – 9 April 1999) was a British author who is principally known for her authoritative biographical works on the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. ==Early life== She was the fourth and youngest daughter of the architect Edwin Lutyens, and his wife Emily Bulwer-Lytton. Emily was the daughter of Robert Bulwer-Lytton, Viceroy of India, and the granddaughter of the novelist-peer Edward Bulwer-Lytton. As a child Mary spent time with her maternal grandmother Edith, the former vicereine, who lived at Knebworth some 30 miles from London. As a result of her mother's interest in theosophy,〔(''ODNB'' )〕 Mary met Krishnamurti when she was a child: she knew him from 1911 until his death in 1986. In the 1920s, her father was working on his buildings at Delhi. Mary visited India with her mother and went to Australia, staying at The Manor, a centre run by Charles Webster Leadbeater in Mosman, New South Wales,〔''The Theosophist'' (Theosophical Society), August 1997, pp. 460–463〕 while Krishnamurti and his brother Nitya stayed at another house nearby. Lutyens stayed there for some time, which eventually provided her with material for her book ''Krishnamurti: The Years of Awakening''.〔''Krishnamurti: The Years of Awakening'' by Mary Lutyens (John Murray), 1975, p. 202〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Lutyens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
