Abstract

Anthony Burgess (1917-1993) was an English author of intellectual novels and serious musical works. As a talented and an inventive person, he was very interested in art and its creative processes. Anthony Burgess’s artistic creativity concept can be traced in most of his works on fictional and non-fictional writers (e.g. William Shakespeare, John Keats and Christopher Marlowe in novels titled nothing Like the Sun: A Story of Shakespeare’s Love Life respectively). The present paper analyzed the image of artist on the basis of Enderby novels, and a tetralogy about a contemporary fictional English poet named Enderby. The analysis indicated that the artist was a craftsman, whose artistic activity was closely connected with his sexual attraction, in Anthony Burgess’s opinion. Furthermore, the author was characterized by the isolation as the main condition for the creative process and the total devotion to art.
