Following the First World War, he worked as an editor for several publishing houses where he met his wife, writer Storm Jameson before becoming Professor of Modern History, University of Leeds, 1945-53, and later a visiting Professor, University of Pittsburgh, 1948-9.

Stylish, honest and eloquent, A Passionate Prodigality is  less a book than a living voice, demonstrating an important if little remembered truth:  The poetry is not in the pity.
