About the author
Born in London, England, in 1930, he later became a Canadian writer, publisher, and professor of medieval literature. His career connected creative writing with academic study, giving his work a thoughtful literary grounding.
He wrote novels and essays and was also active in publishing, which let him support literature from more than one angle. That mix of writer, teacher, and publisher helped shape a body of work rooted in both storytelling and serious reading.
He died in 2016, leaving behind a varied literary life that joined scholarship with imagination. For readers who enjoy authors with a strong feel for literary tradition, his background makes his work especially interesting.
