He was born at Meanwood in Yorkshire, and educated at Leeds Grammar School and Pembroke College, Oxford.〔''Poems of Today'', third series (1938), p. xxiv〕 He worked from 1929 as ''Deputy Keeper of Manuscripts'' in the British Museum〔http://www.answers.com/topic/robin-flower Robin Flower〕 and, completing the work of Standish Hayes O'Grady, compiled a catalogue of the Irish manuscripts there.
He wrote several collections of poetry, translations of the Irish poets for the Cuala Press, and verses on Blasket Island. He first visited Blasket in 1910, at the recommendation of Carl Marstrander, his teacher at the School of Irish Learning in Dublin;〔Gonzalez, Alexander G. & Nelson, Emmanuel S. (1997) ''Modern Irish Writers: a bio-critical sourcebook''; p. 322〕〔Ó Giolláin, Diarmuid (2000) ''Locating Irish Folklore: tradition, modernity, identity''; pp. 125-26.〕 he acquired there the Irish nickname Bláithín.〔(The Blasket Islands on the Southwest Coast of Ireland: Historical information )〕 He suggested a Norse origin for the name "Blasket".〔http://www.dingle-peninsula.ie/blaskets.html Blaskets〕 Under Flower's influence, George Derwent Thomson and Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson made scholarly visits to Blasket.〔McCormack, W. J. & Gillan, Patrick (2001) ''The Blackwell Companion to Modern Irish Culture'', p. 73〕
