Summary

For Derek Brewer

The essays in this volume have been contributed by colleagues, friends and former pupils in honour of Derek Brewer in the year of his retirement, and as an affectionate tribute to his achievements in the study of medieval literature and especially of Chaucer.

Derek Brewer was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was taught by C. S. Lewis and J. A. W. Bennett, and took up his first appointment as a lecturer in English at Birmingham University in 1949. From 1956 to 1958 he lectured at Keio University in Tokyo, returning to Birmingham until 1965, when he was appointed a lecturer in the Faculty of English in the University of Cambridge, and elected a Fellow of Emmanuel College. A Readership in Medieval English followed in 1976, and Derek Brewer was elected Master of Emmanuel College in 1977, and Professor of Medieval English in 1983.
