Muriel Spark is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — British novelist ('The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie')
Spark was a novelist and poet whose sharp, economical fiction—above all 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' (1961)—brought a distinctive irony and moral precision to twentieth-century literature. She wrote more than twenty novels and was made a Dame of the British Empire. Her father, Bernard Camberg, was Jewish; she herself later converted to Roman Catholicism, which deeply informed her work.
