Encyclopedia > Sir John Squire

For British late 20th century musician of the same name, see John Squire


Sir John Squire (John Collings Squire) (18821958) was an English poet, writer, historian, and influential literary editor of the post-World War I period. He also moved in some society circles.


Biography

He was born in Plymouth, and was educated at Blundell's School and St. John's College, Cambridge. He was one of those published in the Georgian poetry collections of Edward Marsh. His own Selections from Modern Poets anthology series, launched in 1921, became definitive of Georgian poetry as a conservative style (whether or not that was fair).


In 1932 in book If It Had Happened Otherwise he collected a series of essays, many of which could be considered alternative history stories, from some of the leading historians of the period (like Hilaire Belloc and Winston Churchill).
