William Pritchard is the Henry Clay Folger Professor of English, Emeritus, at Amherst College. He received his A.B. degree from Amherst and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University. His teaching has focused on 20th century poetry and fiction, but’s also taught on Shakespeare and major English writers from the 17th to the 20th centuries.
His books include Updike: America’s Man of Letters, English Papers: A Teaching Life, Randall Jarrell: A Literary Life, and Frost: A Literary Life Reconsidered. He writes reviews for such newspapers as the Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and Times Literary Supplement, and is both an advisory editor and essayist for the Hudson Review.
Pritchard is, in short, a literary critic. And he’s collected his reviews, articles and essays on the two most influential poets of the 20th century under the title of On Frost and Eliot.
