Abstract

The life and literary contributions of Archibald Joseph Cronin have been understudied and there remains a need for deeper exploration. His most popular and successful novel, The Citadel, has been deemed to be a semi-autobiographical novel. Informed by Philippe Lejeune's autobiographical pact, this study scrutinises the multifaceted elements that moulded Cronin's journey. Tracing the historical contexts and formative experiences that shaped Cronin's trajectory, this research casts some light on less-explored facets of his life. Embedding personal experience into his narrative, Cronin's work captures the intricacies of medical practice, unveiling unethical practices, dubious treatments, and the significance of research and of occupational medicine. This study not only offers an encompassing portrayal of the literary figure, but also emphasises the link between personal encounters and artistic creation in shaping his literary work.
