John Wyndham (of Norrington)

John Wyndham (1903-1969) was a prolific English science fiction writer, best known for his post-apocalyptic and speculative fiction works. While his full name was John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris, he primarily wrote under the pen name John Wyndham. The inclusion "of Norrington" is sometimes appended to his name, primarily to distinguish him from other individuals with the same or similar names, and particularly within genealogical or biographical contexts focusing on his ancestry or family history. Norrington specifically refers to a connection, potentially a familial estate or ancestral origin, located in or associated with Norrington, Wiltshire, England. The addition helps specify which John Wyndham is being referenced. While "John Wyndham" alone is the typical attribution for his literary works, "John Wyndham (of Norrington)" emphasizes his lineage and geographical roots, adding a layer of historical and social context to his identity. It's a more formal and less frequently used designation.
