Michael Edwards (professor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Edwards, born in Barnes, London, England in 1938, was long Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Warwick, until 2002, when he was elected to the Collège de France to a chair in the Study of Literary Creation in the English Language.

In 2008 he was nominated for election to one of the 40 seats of the Académie française ^[1]. He received the second highest number of votes in the fourth and final round of voting (8 votes, behind Michel Schneider who received 10) but no candidate secured a majority so the seat remained vacant on that occasion. ^{[2] [3]}
