| biography:
| Critic, poet, and philosopher, born in Endon, Staffordshire, C England, UK. He studied at Cambridge, and became a champion of modern abstract art, of the poetic movement known as ‘Imagism’, and of the anti-liberal political writings of Georges Sorel, which he translated. Killed in action in France, he left a massive collection of notes, edited by his friend Herbert Read, under the titles Speculation (1924) and More Speculation (1956), which expose philistinism, and attack what he considered to be weak and outworn liberalism. |
