Biography

Philip Waller was born in 1946, and studied history at Magdalen College, Oxford. [1] He enjoyed a long career at Merton College Oxford, where he was Tutor in Modern History from 1971 to 2008. [2]

He also served as Senior Tutor and Sub-Warden of Merton, and held visiting professorships at University of South Carolina, Columbia, in 1979 and Colorado College, Colorado Springs, in 1985. [2] [1]

Waller is the author of a number of academic texts, including Democracy and Sectarianism: A Political and Social History of Liverpool, 1868-1939, published in 1981, and Town, City, and Nation: England 1850-1914, published by Oxford University Press in 2006.[2]

Waller has published many essays and articles in a variety of academic journals, magazines and symposia, and in 2003 he served as editor of The English Historical Review.[2][1]

While at Merton, Waller led history reading parties in Cornwall, a tradition begun by his predecessor Roger Highfield in 1953. Even in retirement Waller continued to invite undergraduate historians to visit his home on Bodmin Moor. [3]
