Anthony R. Pugh was born and raised in Liverpool, England. He attended Cambridge University where he received his BA (1953); MA (1954); and PhD (1959). He taught at the University of London, King's College, and Queen's University of Belfast before moving to Canada, where he taught in the French Department at the University of New Brunswick.
