Biography

The son of a millworker, he attended Keighley Grammar School before reading English at Balliol College, Oxford, on a county scholarship (graduating with a BA in 1927 and the BLitt in 1930), after which he worked briefly as a teacher, before lecturing at University College London from 1931 to 1944.

He was principally interested in the works of Alexander Pope and in 18th- and 19th-century literature and poetry (especially Victorian literature).

Some of the work was carried out with his wife, the literary scholar Kathleen Tillotson.

He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) in 1967.[1]
