Author: Robert Bridges
Robert Bridges (1844–1930) was a poet, but trained and worked as a doctor until 1882, when a lung condition forced him to retire. After this he devoted himself to literary research and writing poetry. He was appointed Poet Laureate in 1913 and held the position until his death in 1930.
