| Christopher Middleton (b. 1926) is best known for his poems, short prose, essays, and translations. He served in the RAF from 1944 to 1948, then attended Merton College, Oxford. After a spell of teaching English at the University of Zürich (1952-55), he became Lecturer (eventually Senior Lecturer) in German at King's College London (1955-65). From 1966 till 1998 he was Professor of Germanic Languages and Literature at the University of Texas, Austin; a further title was added in 1986, David J Bruton Centennial Prefessor of Modern Languages (he was active in the Comparative Literature Program). For Torse 3 he shared the Geoffrey Faber award, and was awarded in 1987 the Schlegel-Tieck Translation Prize. In the USA he is a "resident alien".
