Bernard Cornwell is an English author of fiction. He is known for writing the Warlord Trilogy, the Starbuck series, and the Alfred as well as Grail Quest novels. He also wrote the novels that inspired the 2015 and 2016 movies The Last Kingdom and Rebel.He was born in 1944 in London and was raised as a child in Essex. His mother was English and his father was Canadian, serving as a Canadian airman. His mother belonged to the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. In Essex, he was brought up by the Wiggins family, who adopted him.
They belonged to a Protestant sect called the Peculiar People, and they had strange practices like banning medicine and any kind of frivolity.Once Cornwell left them, he changed his name back to Cornwell, which he knew was the maiden name of his birth mother. He attended Monkton Combe School and then went to the University of London. Once he graduated from there he worked for a little while teaching, and wanted to enlist as part of the British armed services. However, his hopes were to be dashed as he was rejected three times at the very least due to ‘myopia’.He joined Nationwide, part of the BBC, and did well in that field. Soon enough he became head of current affairs and was promoted to this job as part of BBC Northern Ireland. Cornwell continued his career in media as part of Thames Television, becoming the Thames News’s editor.Cornwell kept switching it up and married an American, moving over to the U.S. However, he found that he could not obtain a green card at that time in order to work and make money.
The only thing that he could do was write novels, something that he did not need a work permit for.He was inspired by his early love of C.S. Forester’s novels, which followed the adventures of a fictional character throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Bernard was mildly surprised when he found on that there appeared to be a lack of novels that had followed Lord Wellington’s real life land campaign. As he needed to pay for living expenses and wanted to tell the story, he took that as inspiration, naming his protagonist Richard Sharpe. Sharpe would be a rifleman that fought in the Peninsular War.He first became an author with the release of Sharpe’s eagle, a warm-up novel.
It was released in 1981, as was Sharpe’s Gold. The first book was picked up for publishing and Cornwell was offered a book deal for three novels that he took. The third novel in the Sharpe series would be 1982’s Sharpe’s Company, which told the story of Badajoz.Bernard also collaborated with his wife. He and Judy wrote their series of novels under the pen name of Susannah Kells.
They used this pseudonym for the 1983 novel A Crowning Mercy as well as Fallen Angels and Coat of Arms. Redcoat was published in 1987, an interesting historical novel set during the American Revolutionary War in 1777’s Philadelphia while it was British-occupied.Sharpe went on to write 8 more books in the Sharpe series. A production company wanted him to adapt them for television and also requested that there be a lot of Spanish characters to try and get co-funding secured from Spain.
Cornwell was up to the challenge and the end result was the 1987 novel Sharpe’s Rifles, which was made into a series of movies made for television that starred actor Sean Bean.After that, Cornwell wrote 1988’s Wildtrack. The novel featured a background of sailing, a common theme shared with 1989’s Sea Lord, 1990 Crackdown, 1991’s Stormchild, and the political thriller novel Scoundrel a year later.
