Biographical History
Charles S. Calverley was a Victorian author, known for his light, satirical verse. Born Charles Stuart Blayds, he compiled a checkered career at Cambridge and later Oxford, taking many prizes and honors upon his graduation. He trained and practiced as a lawyer, but committed time to writing, focussing on translations and highly-praised light verse. His wicked parodies were ground-breaking in their subtlety, and his adherence to traditonal style countered the ambitious verse of his contemporaries.
Charles Stuart Calverley, born 1831 at Martley, Worcestershire, was educated at Marlborough College, Harrow, Oxford, and Cambridge, and was elected a fellow of Christ's College and appointed a lecturer in Classics in 1857. His Verses and Translations (1862), and later translations of Theocritus and Virgil, stem from his academic research. In 1863 he married his cousin Ellen and began to study law at the Inner Temple. Shortly after being called to the Bar in 1865, Calverley had a skating accident that was to put an end to his career. He continued to write light verse, publishing poems in journals, and then collecting them in Fly Leaves in 1872. He lived on, sickly, until his death from Bright's disease in 1884.
