Biographical History

Epithet: born Irving Tannenbaum, writer

British Library Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue : Person : Description : ark:/81055/vdc_100000001039.0x0003bb

Irving Stone was born Irving Tannenbaum in San Francisco, California, changing his name to Stone after his mother remarried. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, supporting himself by playing the saxophone, and graduated with degrees in political science and economics. He lectured, working on a Ph. D., but moved to Paris to write plays, which were unsuccessful. While in Paris he encountered the works of Vincent Van Gogh, and meticulously researched the painter's life, leading to the popular fictional biography, Lust for Life. Stone continued to write nonfiction, but specialized in biographical novels, preferring the wider audience fiction allowed. He wrote accounts of Charles Darwin, Clarence Darrow, Michelangelo, Sigmund Freud, and many others, popular novels distinguished by careful research, idealized portrayals, and historical detail.
