Biography[edit]

Michael Winterbottom was educated at Dulwich College, London, and Pembroke College, Oxford. During the Second World War, his family moved from Sale to Torquay, then to Walsall before settling in London.[1]

He has worked mainly on Latin prose texts dating from the Roman Republic to the High Middle Ages.[1]
