Professor W. Jackson Bate

Article Abstract:

English scholar Walter Bate was a concentrator in English at Harvard. He was unable to receive a scholarship, so washed dishes to raise money for his tuition. He won several university prizes as a student, and received his BA in 1939 and his PhD in 1942. He was then elected a Junior Fellow in the Society of Fellows. His doctoral thesis became 'The Stylistic Development of John Keats,' published in 1945. His anthology 'Criticism: The Major Texts,' published in 1952, was kept in print until 1997. He chaired the Harvard English Dept for nine years.
