David Daniell is the author of The Bible in English and has reproduced several books written by William Tyndale. He prepared and introduced for Yale UP the modern-spelling editions of Tyndale's 1534 New Testament and 1530 Old Testament, both of them seminal and previously hard to find, and both now in standard use world-wide. Tyndale's 1528 landmark Obedience broke new ground in revealing the true power of living a Christian life: edited by Daniell with introduction and notes, it is a distinguished Penguin Classic. Also edited and introduced by him, Carcanet's William Tyndale:Selected Writings, is a good shorter overview of Tyndale. The new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004) contains his major individual biographies of William Tyndale, Miles Coverdale, John Frith, John Rogers and William Roy. In 1996, he founded the annual academic journal Reformation, and edited the first volumes: it has now reached volume 11. For the Folio Society in 2006 he introduced their edition of The Apocrypha.
Daniell was made Professor of English at University College London in 1992, (since 1994 Emeritus). He is Honorary Fellow of two Oxford Colleges, Hertford and St Catherine's, and an honorary member of the Senior Common Room at Magdalen. Educated at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Darlington; St Catherine's College, Oxford (BA, 1952, English Language and Literature, MA, 1956: BA Theology 1954); and the University of Tübingen, 1954-5, his Ph.D., on Shakespeare, is from the University of London (1972).
He has made over 50 tv and radio broadcasts, including his BBC Radio 3 feature, Tyndale's Testament, with Denis Nowlan, twice repeated. He had a significant part in the making of Pioneer Productions' prime-time Channel 4 The Bible Revolution. For some years he was a second tenor with the London Synphony Chorus. He has a long-standing and supportive marriage with Dorothy, and two sons, Christopher and Andrew. Christopher and his wife Alison have two sons Matt and Jamie.
