Thomas Moore was born on 4 March 1870, the eldest son of Daniel Moore and Henrietta Sturge. His mother came from an established Quaker family and Thomas retained some sympathy with this position. Thomas and his three brothers, including G.E. Moore, the eminent philosopher, were educated at Dulwich College. Thomas went on to art school and became a pupil of the artist Charles Ricketts, who taught him wood-engraving. Later, adding his mother's name to his own to distinguish him from the Irish poet, Thomas Sturge Moore also published many poems and plays as well as prose works on art and literature. In 1903 Thomas Sturge Moore married his cousin Marie Appia, daughter of his mother's sister and of a Lutheran pastor living in Paris. In later years they lived in Hampstead where they held poetry readings and other gatherings in their house. Thomas Sturge Moore had a great influence on young and old through his writings and through his loyal friendship. He died after a long illness on 18 July 1944.
John Gawsworth was born Terence Ian Fytton Armstrong in London in 1912. While still at school he had earned the nickname of Book Boy for his obsessive collecting of literary memorabilia and throughout his life he cultivated the friendship and championed the causes of many writers who he felt were unjustly neglected. Gawsworth was himself a prolific poet and gained early recognition, becoming the youngest Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, but although his Collected Poems appeared in 1949 and he was an able editor of the Poetry Review from 1948 to 1952, his subsequent career was marred by a prolonged descent into alcoholism. In his later years he lived off the sale of his enormous collection of literary manuscripts and books. He died on 23 September 1970 aged 58.
