He lectured in English Literature at the University of Adelaide, the University of Western Australia and the University of Leeds. He also worked on an Aboriginal mission, used as background for his novel ''To the Islands'', and as an assistant to an anthropologist, Charles Julius, and cadet patrol officer in the Trobriand Islands, where he contracted malaria and suffered a mental and physical breakdown. He used these last experiences in ''Visitants''. For many years he lived at East Bergholt in Suffolk in England, his ancestral county, and he used traditional tales from that area to inform his novel ''The Girl Green as Elderflower''. The last decades of his life he spent in nearby Harwich. His novel ''To the Islands'' won the Miles Franklin Award in 1958.〔(Suzie Gibson. The Case for Randolph Stow's To the Islands. The Conversation, 24 June 2014. )〕 He was awarded the Patrick White Award in 1979. As well as producing fiction, poetry, and numerous book reviews for the Times Literary Supplement, he also wrote libretti for theatrical works by Peter Maxwell Davies. A considerable number of Randolph Stow's poems are listed in the State Library of Western Australia online catalogue〔(Catalogue: State Library of WA & WA Health Libraries Network )〕 with indications where they have been anthologised. He died in England of liver cancer at the age of 74.〔(The Australian, 31 May 2010 )〕 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「Randolph Stow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
