Robert Irwin (writer)

Robert Graham Irwin (born August 23, 1946 in Guildford, England) is a British historian, novelist, and writer on Arabic literature.〔(books.google.com )〕
==Biography==
Irwin attended Epsom College, read modern history at the University of Oxford, and did graduate research at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) under the supervision of Bernard Lewis. His thesis was on the Mamluk reconquest of the Crusader states, but he failed to complete it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.crusaderstudies.org.uk/resources/historians/profiles/irwin/index.html )〕 During his studies, he converted to Sufi Islam and spent some time in a dervish monastery in Algeria. From 1972 he was a lecturer in medieval history at the University of St. Andrews.〔 He gave up academic life in 1977 in order to write fiction, while continuing to lecture part-time at Oxford, Cambridge and SOAS.〔 Irwin is currently a Research Associate at SOAS,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Mr Robert Irwin )〕 and the Middle East editor of ''The Times Literary Supplement''. He has published a history of Orientalism and is an acknowledged expert on The Arabian Nights.
Many of Irwin's novels focus on Arabic themes. This includes his first, the acclaimed dark fantasy novel
''The Arabian Nightmare'', which was inspired by Jan Potocki's ''The Manuscript Found in Saragossa''.〔The 2002 reprint of ''The Arabian Nightmare'' carries praise from the
Washington Post, the Sunday Times and ''The Guardian''.〕〔Brian Stableford, "Irwin, Robert (Graham)" in ''St. James Guide To Fantasy Writers'', edited by David Pringle. St. James Press, 1996, p. 301-3.〕 Later novels would focus on diverse subjects, such as British Surrealism (''Exquisite Corpse'') and Satanism in Swinging London (''Satan Wants Me''). A character from ''Satan Wants Me'', the Satanist Charlie Felton, has a cameo in the 1969 episode of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Annotations to "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" Volume III Chapter Two, a.k.a. Century: 1969 )Alan Moore, the comic's creator, has described Irwin as a "fantastic writer".
