Fairchild '24 Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Emeritus, at Princeton University. Career Fleming was born on May 26, 1936 and graduated from The University of the South in 1958. After studying at Jesus College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar, Fleming earned his Ph.D. in medieval literature from Princeton University in 1963 after completing a doctoral dissertation, titled "The Roman de la Rose and its manuscript illustrations", under the supervision of D.
