Humphrey Sumner Milford

==Overview==
In this work, he made OUP a major world-wide publisher of noteworthy books, music, and educational material for the general public,〔Maw, p. 140〕 complementing the scholarly work of the Clarendon Press in Oxford. Milford himself edited volumes of works of Robert Browning, William Cowper, and Leigh Hunt; and was principal editor of ''The Oxford Book of Regency Verse'' (later ''The Oxford Book of Romantic Verse'') and a moving force behind the ''Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.'' Upon publication of the final volume of the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' in 1928, he was among those awarded an honorary D.Litt. by the University. He was knighted in 1936. His elder son by his first marriage was the composer Robin Milford (1903–1959); his younger son was the racket and hockey player David Milford (1905–1984). His sister Violet Alice Milford was the mother of the poet and scholar Anne Ridler (1912–2001). In summing up his work, ''The Times'' of London cited his “unfailing catholicity”, “nose for a good book”, and “rare sense of the practicable”.〔"Sir Humphrey Milford" ()〕
