==== Marriage ====
Burgess met Llewela "Lynne" Isherwood Jones at the university where she was studying economics, politics and modern history, graduating in 1942 with an upper second-class.<ref>{{Harvnb|Lewis|2002|pp=109–110}}.</ref> Burgess and Jones were married on 22 January 1942.<ref name="Oxfordbiog" /> She was the daughter of secondary school headmaster Edward Jones (1886–1963) and Florence (née Jones; 1867–1956), and reportedly claimed to be a distant relative of [[Christopher Isherwood]], although the Lewis and Biswell biographies dispute this.<ref>{{cite news |last=Mitang |first=Herbert |title=Anthony Burgess, 76, Dies; Man of Letters and Music |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/11/26/obituaries/anthony-burgess-76-dies-man-of-letters-and-music.html |type=obituary |access-date=31 August 2013 |date=26 November 1993}}</ref> According to Burgess's own account, it was not from his wife that the alleged connection to Christopher Isherwood originated: "Her father was an English Jones, her mother a Welsh one. [...] Of Christopher Isherwood [...] neither the Jones father or daughter had heard. She was unliterary&nbsp;..."<ref>Little Wilson and Big God, Anthony Burgess, Vintage, 2002, p.&nbsp;205.</ref> Biswell identifies Burgess as the origin of the alleged relationship with Christopher Isherwood—"if the rumour of an Isherwood affiliation signifies anything, it is that Burgess wanted people to believe that he was connected by marriage to another famous writer"—and notes that "Llewela was not, as Burgess claims in his autobiography, a 'cousin' of the writer Christopher Isherwood"; referring to a pedigree owned by the family, Biswell observes that "Llewela's father was descended from a female Isherwood"&nbsp;... "which means going back four generations&nbsp;... before encountering any Isherwoods", making any connection "at best" "tenuous and distant". He also establishes that per official records, "Llewela's family name was Jones, not (as Burgess liked to suggest) 'Isherwood Jones' or 'Isherwood-Jones'."<ref>The Real Life of Anthony Burgess, Andrew Biswell, Pan Macmillan, 2006, pp.&nbsp;71–72.</ref>
