Beckford, William Englischer Schriftsteller, Kunstsammler und Exzentriker. Berühmt machte ihn seine Novelle Vathek, eine arabische Erzählung (1786), die erste orientalische Gothic Novel innerhalb der englischen Literatur. 1. LEBEN Beckford wurde am 1. Oktober 1759 als Sohn des reichsten Mannes von England in Fonthill (County Wiltshire) geboren und genoss bis zu seinem 18. Lebensjahr eine vorzügliche Ausbildung in Französisch, Latein, Griechisch, Italienisch, Spanisch und Portugiesisch sowie in Philosophie, Jura, Physik und Literatur. (Einer bereits frühzeitig einsetzenden Legendenbildung zufolge soll der nur drei Jahre ältere Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart sein Klavierlehrer gewesen sein.) Mit 19 Jahren verliebte er sich in den zehnjährigen William Courtenay, den späteren Earl of Devon, der damals als schönster Junge Englands galt – eine Affäre, die nach ihrer Entdeckung und einer Zeitungskampagne sechs Jahre darauf ein Ende fand; Züge von Courtenay flossen später in die Figur des Gulchenrouz im Vathek ein. Bereits nach dem Tod des Vaters 1770 hatte Beckford dessen großes Vermögen geerbt; nun reiste er durch Europa, lebte vornehmlich in Portugal und erwarb Bücher sowie Kunstgegenstände für seine umfangreiche Privatsammlung.

In 1770 he inherited an enormous fortune. He travelled extensively in continental Europe, collecting books and works of art. In 1782 he wrote his principal work, Vathek: An Arabian Tale, in French. It was published in English in 1786 and in the original French in 1787. The fantastic, grandiose, and exotic elements in this tale are consonant with the style of Gothic novels , which were popular during the latter half of the 18th century. This book, as well as Beckford's extravagant estates, decadent lifestyle, and his aloofness from society, gave him the reputation of being a morose and eccentric genius. Beckford also wrote two burlesques of sentimental novels, Modern Novel Writing: or, the Elegant Enthusiast
