| Literary critic, born in the Isle of Man, UK. He studied at Liverpool University, served in the navy during World War 2, then taught at Durham and Reading universities, before holding professorial posts at Manchester (1958–65), Bristol (1965–7), University College London (1967–74), and Cambridge (1974–82), where he was a fellow of King's College (to 1987).

He was knighted in 1991. |
