Park Honan
Leonard Hobart Park Honan (17 September 1928 – 27 September 2014) was an American academic and author who spent most of his career in the UK. He wrote widely on the lives of authors and poets and published important biographies of such writers as Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. Honan began his career specializing in Victorian literature but later broadened his scope, becoming an expert in the Elizabethan period. From 1959, he taught at Connecticut College and then Brown University before relocating permanently to England in 1968, where he taught at the University of Birmingham until becoming Professor of English and American Literature at the University of Leeds in 1984. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. ==Early life and education== Honan was born in Utica, New York, the son of William Francis Honan, a thoracic surgeon of Irish descent, and Annette Neudecker Honan, a journalist of English descent. His brother was the journalist William Honan, who became culture editor of ''The New York Times''.〔Beetz, K. H. "Park Honan", ''Dictionary of Literary Biography'', Vol. 111, Gale Research (1991), pp. 81–91〕 His father died in 1935, when Honan was seven years old, leaving his mother to raise their sons alone; she rented a small house in Bronxville, New York, where she felt the public schools were excellent.〔("Park Honan – obituary" ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', 12 October 2014〕 He earned a scholarship to Deep Springs College, a small school in the California desert.〔Lodge, David. (Park Honan obituary" ), ''The Guardian'', 19 October 2014〕 While at school, Honan worked as a butcher and a car mechanic,〔 enjoying horseback riding and fascinated with the local reptiles.〔 Of the butcher job, he said: "My boots used to be awash in four inches of blood in the slaughterhouse. That helped to make me a pacifist."〔 After two years Honan transferred to the University of Chicago, from which he received his BA and, in 1951, his MA.〔Vitello, Paul. ("Park Honan, a Biographer of Authors, Is Dead at 86" ), ''The New York Times'', 19 October 2014 (print version published 20 October 2014, p. A23)〕 He continued to work in a variety of jobs, including as a publisher in New York. There he met, and in 1952 married, a French Fulbright scholar,〔 Jeannette ''nee'' Colin (died 2009), and the couple eventually had three children: Corinna, a writer and editor, and twins Matthew and Natasha.〔〔("Honan, Park 1928–" ), Encyclopedia.com, Gale Authors Online, accessed 6 October 2014〕 Honan was drafted into the US army at the end of the Korean War, but as a conscientious objector, he refused to fight. He was jailed briefly, but allowed to serve in a non-combat role in France. Upon discharge, under the GI Bill, he qualified for a grant to study anywhere he chose.〔 He moved with his wife and baby daughter to England in 1956 to study at the University of London, gaining the degree of Ph.D, with a thesis on Robert Browning, in 1959 (which was published in 1961 as ''Browning's Characters''), while also writing a novel, two plays, poems, short stories and academic papers.〔〔〔("Dr. Honan Publishes Extensive Study of Robert Browning" ), ''Conn Census'', Vol. 46, No. 20, New London, Connecticut, 27 April 1961, p. 1〕
