I am a retired professor of English Literature at Oxford.
My books are mainly about literature (Milton, Donne, Dickens, Thackeray, William Golding) or cultural history and theory (The Intellectuals and the Masses and What Good Are The Arts?). I’ve also written a memoir, The Unexpected Professor (Faber & Faber, 2014).
I was encouraged to join OPC and learn to print by Irvine Loudon, whose work I greatly admire. Printing for me is always an adventure, because it uses a different part of the brain from words, which usually occupy me.
