Malcolm Bradbury was born in Sheffield, the son of Arthur Bradbury, a railway worker, and his wife Doris, and grew up in Nottingham, where he attended West Bridgford grammar school.
Bradbury was a prolific writer - as an academic critic, as a novelist and humorist, and for television, a medium which increasingly fascinated him.
Bradbury was always fascinated by the experimental fictive techniques of contemporary American novelists, and The History Man shows a marked development in his own writing in its unvaried use of a present tense, which reports without comment or analysis the speech and actions of the characters.

Malcolm Bradbury’s range of talents as a novelist, literary critic, writer for television and university teacher made him an influential presence on the British and international cultural scene.
The primary theme in his seven well-crafted novels was the plight of liberal humanism in the later twentieth century as it came under threat from ideologies which denied or diminished the role of the individual, such as Marxism, structuralism, monetarism and postmodernism.
Bradbury was born into a lower middle-class family in Sheffield, Yorkshire, on 7 September 1932.

 Free Essay Techniques By Bradbury And Wells To Create/Develop Tension   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Bradbury is therefore continually building up tension throughout the story as it is in an unfamiliar place in an unfamiliar culture that does not provoke fear but an underlying unease with it, because again we have presented to us ideas we can’t understand and what we can’t understand we can’t control so anything could happen.
Bradbury also times his explosions of pace to correspond with a tension creating event — after relating the story of the dark man coming into her bedroom Lavinia “…screamed./she had never screamed so loud in her life”, which jolts a reader with a sudden blast of tension that continues the build up of the chase.
Bradbury has written the text in the conventions of a mystery so as a reader we expect the murder, the group of suspects, the discovery of the bloodied weapon etc. We also expect a complex plot with a dark and brooding atmosphere.

 BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Sir Malcolm Bradbury: Literature Man
Author, television scriptwriter and literary critic Sir Malcolm Bradbury was as famous for his teaching skills as for his own screenplays and novels.
Like his most famous character, the eponymous History Man, Sir Malcolm was committed to spreading a love for "serious" literature beyond intellectual circles, and paving the way for a new wave of British writing.
Such academic diligence cemented Sir Malcolm's love for literature and ensured that he was of the first generation of grammar school boys to enjoy higher education, in his case at the University of Leicester.

In this way social sciences dissolve the essence of the man, who is a multi-varied being, with a lot of passions, feelings and interests, who is a single and unique unit of the society and different from anyone else; he cannot, for Malcolm Bradbury, be defined in a strict way, with few words.
According to Bradbury social sciences are violent, arrogant, radical and, moreover, they pretend to state the truth.
That is the reason why Malcolm Bradbury feels a certain resentment against social sciences and sociology in particular.

Bradbury's narrator is Francis Jay, a brash young London journalist hired by a TV company to get the goods on Criminale for a feature on Great Thinkers of the Age of Glasnost.
As for Criminale, it's unclear whether Bradbury is hunting with the satirists or running with the hypemongers, for the satyr with the secret Swiss bank accounts is also linked repeatedly to Lukacs and Heidegger; not surprisingly, the portrait is out of focus.
Bradbury, through Francis Kay, spoke to me in a way that Heller, Salinger and Vonnegut couldn't, spoke to who I was and challenged me to see who I could be, just as his character did.

Born in Sheffield in 1932, Bradbury spent his earliest years in London when his father, Arthur Bradbury, got a job involved with print and design with the London and North East Railway at Liverpool Street Station.
At the start of the Second World War the Bradburys were living in Rayners Lane, north-west London, but, since nearby Northolt and Heathrow airports were bombing targets, Malcolm was evacuated to the silk-weaving centre of Macclesfield in Cheshire to live with his grandparents.
There had been Bradburys in Macclesfield for five generations working as private coal- miners who dug their own pits on their own land.

 Inside Trading by Malcolm Bradbury
Set in Battenberg's, an ancient London merchant bank with a proud tradition and a suspect past, Inside Trading centres on a rogue trader whose ambitions for his own survival draw in government, European funding and widespread millennial fantasies.
Bradbury, drawing on the climate of City trading in the nineties, has moved the play to an age of the dream-filled and scheme-saturated millennium, the age of the big deal and the rogue trader.
The result is a satirical comedy in the spirit of Bradbury's prose work.
