At one point Golding describes setting his students up into two groups to fight each other an experience he drew on when writing Lord of the Flies.[15] John Carey, the emeritus professor of English literature at Oxford university, was eventually given 'unprecedented access to Golding's unpublished papers and journals by the Golding estate'. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2228.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2228.txt
