Synopsis "Moonfleet"

John Meade Falkner (8 May 1858 - 22 July 1932) was an English novelist and poet, best known for his 1898 novel, Moonfleet. An extremely successful businessman as well, he became chairman of the arms manufacturer Armstrong Whitworth during World War I. He was born in Manningford Bruce, Wiltshire, spent much of his childhood in Dorchester and Weymouth and educated at Marlborough College and Hertford College, Oxford, graduating with a degree in history in 1882. After Oxford, he was a master at Derby School, then went to Newcastle as tutor to the family of Sir Andrew Noble, who ran Armstrongs of Newcastle, one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world. Falkner eventually followed him as chairman in 1916, hard though this is to equate with his interest in poetry, architecture and heraldry.

(Wiltshire, 1858 - Durham, 1932). Estudió en el Hertford College de Oxford, donde se licenció en Historia. Después de graduarse ejerció de maestro en la escuela de Derby, antes de ir a Newcastle para trabajar como tutor de los hijos de Sir Andrew Noble, director del Armstrong Whitworth Co., una de las mayores empresas armamentísticas del mundo a finales de siglo, que se convertiría en estratégica durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Aunque los principales intereses del joven Falkner eran la poesía, la arquitectura y la heráldica, su patrón le ofreció un cargo relevante en la empresa, por el que tuvo que recorrer medio mundo. Tras retirarse de los negocios en 1921, fue lector honorario de Paleografía de la Universidad de Durham y bibliotecario honorario de la catedral. Aparte de las tres novelas que escribió, también publicó varias guías topográficas y una historia de Oxfordshire.
