Life
He was educated at Harvard University, B.A. 1963; Columbia University, M.A. 1966. He taught at Bennington College, Bennington, Vermont, 1966–84, and at Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, 1984-85. He was director of the MFA Program, and the Hopwood Awards Program at the University of Michigan, until his retirement in 2002.
He has published twenty books of fiction and non-fiction. In 2011, saw the publication of Sherbrookes. This book brings his trilogy of novels ("Possession," "Sherbrookes," "Stillness" from, consecutively, 1977, '78 and '80 ) between the covers of a single book. Shebrookes is not simply a reissue of the three original novels together, but a revised edition of the trilogy without being a complete revision of the original story. [1]
Delbanco has served as Chair of the Fiction Panel for the National Book Awards, received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1980,[2] and twice, a National Endowment for the Arts Writing Fellowship.

In "The Count of Concord" we see a veteran novelist working at the height of his powers, pulling out every trick he's learned in the four decades since he published his first book, "The Martlet's Tale," at 23.[3]
