Professor C S Lim or Lim Chee Seng has recently retired from University of Malaya where he used to teach as Professor and was Head of the Department of English for over 11 years. He studied at the Universities of Malaya and Oxford and is an expert on Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature. He is one of the handful of scholars who bridge the divide between the academic study of Postcolonical Literature and the so-called traditional British Literature.

He is a member of some worldwide associations such as the International Shakespeare Association (ISA) and the Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies (ACLALS). He has sat on the International Executive Committee of ISA since 1996 and was the International Chair of ACLALS from 1997-2000.

He has published many articles or chapters in books on Shakespeare and Postcolonialism. His contributions have appeared in academic presses and journals based in Montpellier (France), Calcutta and New Delhi (India), Tokyo (Japan), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Hamilton (New Zealand), Dozwil (Switzerland), London and Oxford (U.K), Washington, D.C., New York, Delaware & Oklahoma (U.S.A). His most prominent volume is probably Shakespeare Without English (Pearson Longman, 2006) which he co-edited with Sukanta Chaudhuri, the General Editor of the Oxford University Press Project on Rabindranath Tagore.

Presently he is living in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, a suburb just outside Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. []
