Clarence H. Miller (August 4, 1930 – June 21, 2019) born in Kansas City, Missouri was an American professor emeritus of English at Saint Louis University. He is best known for major contributions to the study of Renaissance literature, and creating the classic translations from Latin of Saint Thomas More's 1516 book Utopia, and Erasmus's 1509 The Praise of Folly. Utopia is considered one of the most important works of European humanism. Miller was also Executive Editor of the Yale University Thomas More variorum project, which produced, over a period of decades, the 15-volume Yale Edition of the Complete Works of St. Thomas More.
Biography
Miller was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and attended Rockhurst, the Jesuit high school there. He received his bachelor's degree from Saint Louis University in 1951, and his PhD from Harvard University in 1955. He taught at Saint Louis University, first as an Instructor of English (1957–1960), and eventually as the Dorothy McBride Orthwein Professor of English Literature (1966, until his retirement in 2000). He was a Fulbright Professor at the University of Würzburg in 1960–1961, and he received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1966. From 1976–1977 he was Visiting Professor at the Ruhr University (Bochum, West Germany), and from 1979-1984 Visiting Professor at Yale University, where he also served as Executive Editor of the Yale Edition of the Complete Works of St. Thomas More (his tenure as editor extending beyond his tenure as Visiting Professor, to 1998).
