Author John Middleton Murry was born in London to lower-class parents, and proved to be something of a child prodigy, earning scholarships to Christ's Hospital and Oxford. Determined to make a living as a writer, he founded the journal Rhythm, which helped him make some contacts before it failed. He wrote poetry, plays, and several unsuccessful novels before settling into a career as an influential editor and critic. The two key relationships in his life were his friendship with D.H. Lawrence, and his marriage to Katherine Mansfield; he promoted both their careers, and championed their works as a critic, to the point of exploitation. In his later years, his works became more political, as he became a Marxist and a pacifist.
