Family[edit]
Wales was born in Darlington, England, on 8 February 1946 to Yvonne and Richard Derwent. Her brother, the climate scientist Richard Derwent, was born the following year. She attended Darlington High School for Girls before moving down to Egham, Surrey in 1964 to attend Royal Holloway university. She met her first husband, Brian Wales whilst studying, marrying him in 1972 and lived in Staines until their divorce in 1985.
She currently lives in Cambridgeshire and Rutland with her second husband, David, a former university librarian. She has one grown-up son from her first marriage, Tim Wales, who is also a university librarian and academic author. [1]
Career[edit]
Katie studied English at Royal Holloway between 1964 and 1967, starting her academic career as a Lecturer there after graduation. She remained at RHUL until the early 1990s as a Reader when she was offered a Chair in Modern English Language at Leeds University.
Since then she has held special professorships at Sheffield University and the University of Nottingham. Now semi-retired from academia, she works as a part-time writer and reviewer and runs a collectibles stall on Cambridge Market most Tuesdays.
Katie is a Founding Fellow of the Poetics and Linguistics Association.[2] Her many academic interests include linguistics, James Joyce, style, English genre and Shakespeare.
