"Lawrence Norfolk (born 1963) is a British novelist known for historical works with complex plots and intricate detail. In 1992 he won the Somerset Maugham Award for his first novel, Lemprière's Dictionary , about events surrounding the publication, in 1788, of John Lemprière's Bibliotheca Classica on classical mythology and history. The novel starts out as a detective story and mixes historical elements with steampunk-style fiction. It imagines the writing of Lemprière's dictionary as tied to the founding of the British East India Company and the Siege of La Rochelle generations before; it also visits the Austro-Turkish War. "
