Colin Wilson Studies # 18 - Stuart Holroyd: Years of Anger and Beyond, by Antoni Diller. Stuart Holroyd [1933- ] came to prominence in 1957 when his first book Emergence From Chaos propelled him onto the 'Angry Young Men' bandwagon, alongside his friends Colin Wilson and Bill Hopkins. Flight and Pursuit followed in 1959 since when he has pursued a career as a language teacher, occasionally publishing books on a variety of subjects including the paranormal, Gnosticism and the philosophy of Krishnamurti. His memoir of the 1950s Contraries: a personal progression appeared in 1975. The two main sections of Antoni Diller's essay were originally written as self-contained articles. The first section, "Becoming Angry", focuses on the 1950s, a crucial period in Holroyd's life. The second, "Expanding Horizons", relates the major events in Holroyd's life from 1960 to the present. The appendix, "Notes and Sources", explains the origins of the information contained in this study and provides biblio-graphical references for the published material that Diller has made use of. A bibliography of Holroyd's writings completes this exploration of an unjustly neglected thinker.
