John Frederick Freeman, (29 January 1880 – 23 September 1929), was an English poet and essayist, who gave up a successful career in insurance to write full-time. He was born in London, and started as an office boy aged 13. He was a close friend of Walter de la Mare from 1907, who lobbied hard with Edward Marsh to get Freeman into the ''Georgian Poetry'' series; with eventual success. De la Mare's biographer Theresa Whistler describes him as "tall, gangling, ugly, solemn, punctilious". He won the Hawthornden Prize in 1920 with ''Poems 1909-1920''. His ''Last Hours'' was set to music by Ivor Gurney. ==Works== * ''Presage of Victory'' (1916) * ''Stone Trees'' (1916) * ''Ancient and Modern Essays in Literary Criticism'' (1917) * ''Memories of Childhood and other Poems'' (1919) * ''Poems'' 1909-1920 (1920) * ''Music'' (1921) * ''The Grove and Other Poems'' (1925) * ''Prince Absalom'' (1925) * ''Collected Poems'' (1928) * ''Last Poems'' (1930) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Freeman (poet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
