About the Author
Michael Millgate was born in Hampshire, studied at the universities of Cambridge, Michigan, and Leeds, and has now retired from the University of Toronto as University Professor of English Emeritus. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and the Royal society of Canada, he is best known for The Achievement of William Faulkner (1966) and other studies of American literature and for his extensive critical, biographical, and editorial work on Thomas Hardy, begun with Thomas Hardy: His Career as a Novelist (1971, reissued in 1994) and continued with Thomas Hardy: A Biography (1982) and numerous scholarly editions of texts and documents. His editing of Hardy's ghost-written The Life and Work of Thomas Hardy (1985) prompted the wider exploration of authorial wills and literary estates published in 1992 as Testamentary Acts: Browning, Tennyson, James, Hardy.
