Edmonds was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on Dec. 27, 1934, and was educated in the Fort Worth public schools. He received a B.A. magna cum laude in 1957 from Texas Christian University, with a double major in English and Journalism. After spending two years as a lieutenant in the U. S. Army (Adjutant General’s Corps), Edmonds entered The University of Texas in the fall of 1959. He received a Ph.D. in the summer of 1965 with majors in English and American Literature and minors in History and Philosophy. His dissertation, entitled Malcolm Lowry: A Study of His Life and Work, was the first ever written on the acclaimed author of Under the Volcan. In the fall of 1965 Edmonds joined the Department of English of Tulane University. From that time until the present he has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in modern British, American, and Continental Literature; creative writing; and advanced writing. One of his particular interests is literature set in New Orleans and environs. Edmonds has taught as Fulbright Lecturer in American Literature at The University of Bucharest, Romania; and in summer programs in Czechoslovakia, Cambridge (England), Paris, and Rome. In 1993-94 he was Professor-in-Charge of the Tulane/Newcomb Junior Year Abroad Program in Great Britain and Ireland. From 1983-1986 he was Director of The Tulane Honors Program. Edmonds has published short stories, poems, and essays and reviews on modern literature. He has delivered lectures and scholarly papers on a variety of literary topics. On June 30, 2007, Edmonds will retire after fifty years as a teacher.
