C. A. (Dinos) Patrides was among the staff of the English Department at York University from 1964 to 1978; he became a professor before leaving for the University of Michigan, where he met his untimely death in 1986. He was a scholar of international distinction, his chief works being "Milton and the Christian Tradition", "The Grand Design of God", and "Premises and Motifs in Renaissance Thought and Literature". He also produced editions of Donne, Herbert, and Sir Thomas Browne, but Milton remained his chief love in seventeenth-century literature.
The Patrides Memorial Lecture was the inspiration of Hermione Lee, and was set up in 1988 as a collaboration between the Department of English & Related Literature and Langwith College. Jump to search
Constantinos Apostolos Patrides (1930 – 23 September 1986) was a Greek–American academic and writer, and "one of the greatest scholars of Renaissance literature of his generation".[1] His books list the name C. A. Patrides; his Christian name "Constantinos" was shortened to the familiar "Dinos" and "Dean" by friends.
Born in New York City, he lived in Greece during World War II. His childhood service with the Greek Resistance against the Axis Occupation earned him a medal for heroism from the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem. At Kenyon College and at Oxford University, he began the research that was published as Milton and the Christian Tradition, a classic study of John Milton's Christian theology. Patrides was a professor at the University of California and the University of York and a distinguished professor at the University of Michigan. He was a prolific writer on literature and intellectual history and lectured around the world. He edited study editions of the prose of Milton and of the poems of John Donne and George Herbert. After his 1986 death, his works and alms and all his good endeavors were commemorated by the annual Patrides lectures at York and by both the Patrides Fellowships and the Patrides Professorship at Michigan.
