Life
Born in Bognor Regis, England, Marshall became a boarder at Steyning Grammar School in the Sussex Downs. He then sailed around the world as a purser cadet in the Merchant Navy before teaching English in Senegal, West Africa. He returned to England to take a Bachelor of Arts in English, French and Spanish from the University of London and a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy in the History of Ideas from the University of Sussex. As a part-time tutor, he taught in the Extra-Mural departments of the University of London and the University of Wales, the Open University, and the Brighton and Chelsea schools of art.
In the 1970s Marshall was a founder member of Redfield community in Winslow, Buckinghamshire, England. He went in 1980 to live in Snowdonia National Park in North Wales to write his first book and stayed on for 21 years, first living in a remote cottage in the mountains and then down by the sea. He now lives in Devon, England. He has two children, Emily and Dylan.
Marshall has contributed to fields as diverse as anarchism, ecology, alchemy and archaeology. He has been described by Resurgence magazine as one of the 25 'visionary voices' who have shaped the new world view in the last quarter of the 20th century. His philosophy of Liberation Ecology is presented in Riding the Wind (1998). Marshall has been described as "a passionate ecologist and animal liberationist" by The Guardian. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a member of the Society of Authors.
Marshall has a paternal Irish grandmother.
