See the biography by his brother, the Shakespearian scholar G. Wilson Knight, _Jackson Knight: A Biography_ (Oxford, Alden Press 1975). There may also be information in T.P. Wiseman's _Talking to Virgil_ (Exeter, 1992), though I have not seen this in the flesh.
Jackson Knight is by no means the first person to have achieved post-mortem contact with the poet. Fulgentius in his _Expositio Virgilianae Continentiae_ evokes the shade of Vergil in order to extract from him an allegorical account of his epic.
