From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alvin A. Lee, B.A., M.Div., Ph.D., is a literary critic. The majority of his academic career--some 39 years--was spent at McMaster University in Hamilton; he served as President and vice-chancellor of that university from 1980 to 1990. The McMaster Museum of Art is named in his honour.
His academic interests lay in the fields of Old English literature, the Bible and literature, and literary theory.
Lee currently serves as the General Editor of the Collected Works of Northrop Frye project; he has edited one volume himself, and is working on the edition of Frye's The Great Code. He is perhaps best known for his work on Beowulf: Gold-Hall and Earth-Dragon: Beowulf as Metaphor.
