Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Quentin Robert Duthie Skinner (born 26 November 1940) is the Barber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities at Queen Mary, University of London. Quentin Skinner was born the second son of Alexander Skinner, CBE (died 1979), and Winifred Rose Margaret, née Duthie (died 1982). Educated at Bedford School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, he was elected into a Fellowship there in 1962 upon obtaining a double-starred first in History, but immediately gained a teaching Fellowship at Christ''s College, Cambridge, where he remained until moving to London University in 2008. He is now an Honorary Fellow of both Christ''s College and Gonville and Caius College. In the middle 1970s he spent four formative years at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, initially as an historian and latterly in the School of Social Science. It was there that he met Raymond Geuss, later a colleague at Cambridge. Together with John Dunn and J. G. A. Pocock Skinner has been said to have founded the "Cambridge School" of the history of political thought.
