Michael Edwards, born in Barnes, London, England in 1938, was longtime Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Warwick, until 2002, when he was elected to a chair in the Study of Literary Creation in the English Language at the Collège de France.
In 2008 he was nominated for election to one of the 40 seats of the Académie française [Lichfield, J. [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/europe/poet-vies-to-be-first-englishman-accepted-by-iacadmie-franccedilaisei-779156.html "Poet vies to be first Englishman accepted by Académie française"] , "The independent", February 7, 2008.] . He received the second highest number of votes in the fourth and final round of voting (8 votes, behind Michel Schneider who received 10) but no candidate secured a majority so the seat remained vacant on that occasion.
