Lyall Powers

Lyall H. Powers (born 1924) is a professor of English at the University of Michigan, where he has taught since 1958. He was granted emeritus status by the University's Regents during their October, 1992, meeting. [ [http://www.umich.edu/~urecord/9293/Oct26_92/7.htm Powers, Riordan, Buning granted emeritus status] . The University Record. October 26, 1992. Accessed 16 Aug. 2006.]

Powers has written widely on modern American authors, and, with Leon Edel, edited the complete notebooks of Henry James. One of his most widely circulated books is "Alien Heart", a biography of Canadian author Margaret Laurence. A lifelong friend of Laurence, having met her when they were students together in the 1940s, Powers combines personal knowledge of the author with a study of her writings.
