G. Peter Winnington lectures in modern English literature at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. He created and edited The Mervyn Peake Review for the (now defunct) Mervyn Peake Society and then launched his own Peake Studies in 1988. He prepared the 1992 Overlook edition of Peake's Titus books, selecting the essays printed at the end of Titus Alone. His biography of Peake, Vast Alchemies (2000) was shortlisted for the Mythopoeic Society's Scholarship Award and his study of Peake's work, The Voice of the Heart, was published in 2006 by Liverpool UP (in the UK) and Chicago UP (in the USA). He also edited Mervyn Peake: The Man and his Art (with contributions by Joanne Harris, John Howe and Michael Moorcock, among others) which also came out in October 2006 from Peter Owen (London).
