Born in Milan, Humbert Wolfe (1885 – 1940) emigrated to the UK with his family, when he was six years old. Raised in Bradford, he went on to gain a first at Oxford University. After leaving, he pursued a career in the Civil Service, rising from a junior position in the Board of Trade to become Deputy Secretary to the Ministry of Labour.
Published in the 1920s, ‘Lampoons’ and ‘Requiem’ established him as one of the UK’s favourite poets of the time. Many of his works were set to music by composers, such as Gustav Holst. Wolfe died on his 55th birthday.
