Encyclopedia
Timothy Foote is an editor and writer, born in London, 3 May 1926.
He is the author of two books, The World of Bruegel (1968) and The Great Ringtail Garbage Caper (1980) and several hundred articles and reviews on a wide range of subjects, variously published in TIME
, where he was a senior editor for 14 years, The New York Times
Sunday Book Review, Washington Post Book World, Esquire
, The American Scholar
and Smithsonian Magazine. As his website Footenotes.net points out, his topics range from the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, France and the French (he was a Paris-based foreign correspondent for four years), W.H. Auden, Harvard, the decline of quality in publishing, Border Collies, Midway Island, Gibraltar, Hadrian's Wall.
His best-selling work is The World of Bruegel which deals with the life and work of Pieter Bruegel the elder, seen in the religious, artistic and historic context of 16th century Europe, especially the Low Countries. The Great Ringtail Garbage Caper (1980) is a book for children of all ages. It tells of a group of raccoons who organize a hijacking plan when their regular food supply is put under threat by new, younger, more efficient garbage collectors. This was turned into a cartoon with the help of Hanna-Barbera
, but thus far has not yet made it to release on DVD/Video formats.
Foote continues to write and is a contributor to American Scholar magazine. In the Autumn 2005 edition Foote wrote about his reporting in Israel and Lourdes with LIFE photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt
