Elected to the Mastership of Christ's College in 2002, Professor Bowie retired early due to ill health late last year. Before returning to Cambridge he was Marshal Foch Professor of French Literature and a Fellow of All Souls College Oxford.
His teaching career took him to the University of East Anglia, Clare College and Queen Mary, London. His research focussed on French literature, psychoanalysis and the relationship between literature and the arts.
He was a Fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Society of Literature. His Proust Among The Stars (1998) won the 2001 Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism.
The family asked that no flowers be sent, but that those who wished to do so might make a contribution to research into multiple myeloma.
