Nigel Glendinning
Professor Oliver Nigel Valentine Glendinning (16 October 1929 – 23 February 2013), known as Nigel Glendinning, was a scholar and authority on Goya and 18th Century Spanish literature. He wrote a history of Spanish literature in the age of the Enlightenment and his analytical approach to Goya combined the artist’s work with an understanding of its historical context.

Glendinning was an Honorary Fellow of the Hispanic Society of America. King Juan Carlos of Spain made him a Commander of the Order of Isabel La Católica in 1988, and the University of Salamanca awarded him the Elio Antonio de Nebrija prize in 2007. He received honorary doctorates from the Complutense University of Madrid and the University of Southampton.

Glendinning’s obituary in "The Guardian" described him as the ‘kindest and most generous of colleagues’.
