The year 2012 will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Lawrence 
Durrell (1912-1990).

A celebrated novelist, poet, and travel writer, Durrell is most 
remembered for the novels comprising /The Alexandria Quartet/ (1957 – 
1960), along with a trio of island books, /Prospero’s Cell: A Guide to 
the Landscape and Manners of the Island of Corcyra/ (1945), /Reflections 
on a Marine Venus: A Companion to the Landscape of Rhodes/ (1953), and 
/Bitter Lemons of Cyprus/ (1957).

The International Lawrence Durrell Society will celebrate the 2012 
Lawrence Durrell Centenary by holding a world-class gathering of 
readers, scholars, archivists, and distinguished speakers in London, the 
city that looms behind all other Durrellian cities, real or imagined.

Working jointly with the Lawrence Durrell Estate, Curtis Brown, Faber & 
Faber, and the British Library, the International Lawrence Durrell 
Society will host the 2012 Durrell Centenary at London House, on the 
grounds of Goodenough College.

Durrell 2012: The Lawrence Durrell Centenary invites proposals for 
scholarly papers treating any aspect of Lawrence Durrell’s writings, 
life, or times.
