He taught Romance Languages at Johns Hopkins University and Princeton University, and has written extensively on the history, theory and practice of historiography,〔For evaluations of Gossman's contributions to the field of historiography, see: Bann, Stephen.

()〕 ==Biography== Gossman was born in Glasgow, Scotland and educated in public schools in the city, and during World War II, the surrounding countryside.〔Gossman, "In the Footsteps of Giants", p. 1.〕 In 1951, he graduated with an M.A. (Hons.) degree in French and German literature from the University of Glasgow.〔Gossman, "In the Footsteps of Giants", p. 13.〕 In 1952, he obtained the ''Diplôme d'Études Supérieures'' at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, and wrote his thesis "The Idea of the Golden Age in ''Le Roman de la Rose.''"〔Gossman, "In the Footsteps of Giants", p. 14.〕 From 1952-1954, Gossman served in the Royal Navy where he was trained to be a simultaneous English-Russian translator.〔Gossman, "In the Footsteps of Giants", p. 15.〕 Upon completion of national service in 1954, he entered the then newly founded St. Antony's College, the first exclusively graduate college of Oxford University. In 1958 he completed a doctoral dissertation on scholarly research and writing on the Middle Ages during the French Enlightenment ("The World and Work of ''La Curne de Sainte-Palaye''").〔Gossman, "In the Footsteps of Giants", p. 16.〕 After a brief stint as Assistant Lecturer at the University of Glasgow (1957–1958), Gossman accepted a teaching position in the Department of Romance Languages at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He rose through the ranks, becoming professor in 1966, head of the French section of the Department in 1968, and chair in 1975. Gossman says he was fortunate to have as colleagues and friends in those years René Girard, Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Lucien Goldmann, Jean-François Lyotard, Michel Serres and Louis Marin.〔Gossman, "In the Footsteps of Giants", p. 23.〕 Gossman recalls in his autobiography: In 1976, Gossman moved to Princeton University, where he spent 23 "calm, happy, productive and personally and intellectually fulfilling years." He served on key university committees, and from 1991-1996 chaired the Romance Languages Department. In 1990 he received Princeton's Howard T. Berhman Award for distinguished service in the humanities.〔Gossman, "In the Footsteps of Giants", p. 28.〕 In 1991 he was made an Officer in the Ordre des Palmes Académiques; in 1996, he was elected a Member of the American Philosophical Society; and in 2005 he received an honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities from Princeton University.〔"Lionel Gossman." Princeton University: Department of French and Italian.

Princeton University, 2009 )〕 Since retiring in 1999, Gossman has resumed his undergraduate studies of German culture. He has written a number of articles on aspects of 19th-century German art and cultural politics, including several studies of the Nazarene movement.〔 On the Nazarenes, he has authored the study "Unwilling Moderns: The Nazarene Painters of the Nineteenth Century"〔Gossman, Lionel. "Unwilling Moderns: The Nazarene Painters of the Nineteenth Century." Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide. 2.3 (Autumn 2003). ()〕 and the book "The Making of a Romantic Icon: The Religious Context of Friedrich Overbeck's 'Italia und Germania.'"〔("Current Publications."
