Biographical history
Anthony “Tony” R. Kilgallin was born in London, England, in 1941. He emigrated to Toronto in 1951, then moved to Mexico in 1958. During that time, and before moving to North Vancouver in 1967, Kilgallin wrote a master’s thesis on Lowry, entitled “The use of literary sources for theme and style in Under the Volcano” (1965). Kilgallin was briefly a professor of English at UBC; he is noted as an assistant professor in the Summer 1970 roll. In 1973 he published Lowry, his biography of the same, with Press Porcepic (Ontario).
