Timeline

1964

Madeleine Clare J. Bunting (born March 1964) is an English writer.

She was formerly an associate editor and columnist at The Guardian newspaper.

She has written five works of non-fiction and two novels (Ceremony of Innocence will be published in 2022).

She is a regular broadcaster for the BBC.

1978

The fourth of five children, Madeleine was the youngest daughter from John and Romola's marriage; the couple separated in 1978.

She was educated at Richmond Convent, North Yorkshire, and Brighton, Hove & Sussex VI Form College, followed by Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and then Harvard University, where Bunting read history, and received a Knox postgraduate fellowship to study politics and to teach.

1988

After a period working for Brook Productions (1988–89) Bunting joined The Guardian newspaper in 1990.

Her posts at the newspaper over the years were as a news reporter, leader writer, religious affairs editor, associate editor and, for twelve years a columnist.

1995

Her first book The Model Occupation: The Channel Islands under German Rule, published in 1995, was praised as "thoroughly unflinching, fair-minded, humane and sensitive" (Paul Johnson, Evening Standard).

Another review by the historian Norman Stone said, "Bunting is a superb chronicler of what happened.. if you want a classic example of the dilemmas of Resistance, here it is."

Yet the book was also highly controversial in that the author accused the islanders of passive collaboration with German occupying forces, implying that officials "helped identify Jews" for deportation to their deaths, which constituted a "shameful wartime past".

Historian Hazel R. Knowles Smith has described Bunting’s research as “just plain wrong,” while X writes that it is “impossible to overstate” the outrage caused by Bunting’s allegations.

2004

Bunting repeated these claims in an article for the Guardian in January 2004 when the book was republished, stating, "My book The Model Occupation played a modest part in the process, stirring up furious controversy on the islands.”

In 2004, she published Willing Slaves, an analysis of the role of overwork in British culture.

2006

Bunting was appointed director of the London-based think tank Demos in June 2006 but resigned shortly after, owing to differences with the trustees.

Bunting returned to The Guardian and wrote a history of an area where she grew up.

She was awarded a Lambeth degree by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 2006 in recognition of her journalism.

2009

The Plot was published by Granta in 2009.

The book traces how humans have used one acre of land on the edge of the North York moors over thousands of years right up to the present day including her own family's use of the land.

It is partly an account of the War Memorial Chapel her father built on the acre as well as a history of an area of great natural beauty and rich history.

2010

It was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature's Ondaatje Prize 2010 and won the Portico Prize.

2013

Bunting left The Guardian in 2013.

In 2013, she received an honorary fellowship from Cardiff University.

As a columnist, Bunting was critical of abuse committed within the Catholic Church in Ireland and elsewhere in the world.

She believes the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church is irreversibly compromised.

Bunting is married to Simon Robey and has three children.

2016
