R.C. Trevelyan


Robert Calverl(e)y Trevelyan (/trɪˈvɛljən, -ˈvɪl-/; 28 June 1872 – 21 March 1951) was an English poet and translator, of a traditionalist sort, and a follower of the lapidary style of Logan Pearsall Smith.

Trevelyan was the second son of Sir George Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and his wife Caroline née Philips, who was the daughter of Robert Needham Philips MP, a Liberal Member of Parliament and textile merchant from Lancashire. Trevelyan was the brother of Sir Charles Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet, and of the historian G. M. Trevelyan.

He was born in Weybridge and educated at Wixenford (where he was known as "the Dodo" and was a particular friend of Frederick Lawrence), then at Harrow. From 1891 to 1895 he studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he became one of the Cambridge Apostles. He studied Classics and then law; his father wanted him to follow a career as a barrister, but his ambition was to be a poet.
