 | | The death of Isherwood's father on May 8, 1915, during a battle in France deeply affected him, not only in his perspective of his father and how he would relate to his mother, but in his attitude towards the military and war itself. |
 | | Isherwood met Edward Upward, a life-long friend and influence, in 1919 at Repton, a prestigious public school, and joined him at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, in 1923. |
 | | In 1925, Isherwood was asked to withdraw from the university, and he took a job in London as a part-time secretary to a string quartet and began to write novels. |
