About the author
Born in 1888, George Rostrevor Hamilton was an English poet and critic who was educated at Oxford and went on to build a career in the civil service. He also became known in literary circles for his poetry and criticism, balancing official work with a serious commitment to writing.
Hamilton published poetry from the era of the First World War onward and later wrote criticism, including work on modern poetry. He also compiled anthologies of Greek and Latin verse, showing the strong classical background that shaped much of his literary taste.
He was knighted in 1951 and is remembered as a writer whose career joined public service, scholarship, and poetry in an unusually steady way. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I checked, so none is included here.
