Variant namesHide Profile
Alan Gabriel Barnsley (whose pen name was Gabriel Fielding), was born on March 25, 1916, in Hexham, Northumberland, England. Barnsley was educated at St. Edward's, Oxford (1930-1933); at Trinity College of the University of Dublin (1940), where he earned a B.A.; and at St. George's Hospital, London, where he received a licentiate in 1943. Although trained as a physician, Barnsley regarded his profession as a necessity rather than a preference. He did not publish his first novel until age 36. In 1966 he moved with his family to the United States where he had accepted a post as author-in-residence at Washington State University. He advanced rapidly to a full professorship in English literature, retiring in 1981 as professor emeritus. Barnsley was the author of eight novels, three books of poems and numerous short stories contributed to anthologies and periodicals. He died November 27, 1986 in Bellevue, Washington.
