Bruce L. Edwards is Professor of English and Africana Studies, and Associate Vice Provost for Academic Technology at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, United States, where he has been a faculty member and administrator since 1981.

He has served as Fulbright Fellow in Nairobi, Kenya (1999-2000), teaching at Daystar University, and as a Bradley Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC (1989-90), and as the S.

Bruce and his wife, Joan, live in Bowling Green, and have four grown children, ranging in age from 22 to 31.

Bruce was born in Akron, Ohio, attending the Akron City Public Schools. He received an A.A. in Biblical Studies at Florida College, and then graduated with a B.A. in English from the University of Missouri–Rolla in 1977, and received his Masters Degree in English from Kansas State University in 1979. He earned his Ph.D. in Literature and Rhetoric from the University of Texas at Austin in 1981, writing his dissertation on the literary criticism of C. S. Lewis.

," have been well received, and he has published two previous books on Lewis, including "A Rhetoric of Reading: C. S. Lewis’s Defense of Western Literacy," and "The Taste of the Pineapple: Essays on C. S. Lewis as Reader, Critic, and Imaginative Writer"; and he is also a contributor to many collections of essays about Lewis and the Inklings, and has for many years maintained this popular web site on the life and works of C. S. Lewis (http://www.pseudobook.com/cslewis). He has also published several successful textbooks for college audiences, including, "Roughdrafts" (Houghton-Mifflin, 1987), "Processing Words" (Prentice-Hall, 1988), and "Searching for Great Ideas" (1st and 2nd editions; Harcourt, 1989; 1992).

He was the recipient of a 1990-2000 Fulbright Program Fellowship to Kenya, and, more recently, a 2005 Fulbright-Hays Grant that allowed him to take a contingent of public and private educators to Tanzania for six weeks in the summer of 2005 to establish internet-based educational opportunities for both Midwestern U.S. and Tanzanian students.
