Autorenporträt
George Allen Upward was a British poet, lawyer, politician, and teacher who left a distinctive mark on early modern literature. Born on 20 September 1863 in Worcester, United Kingdom, he pursued varied careers that reflected his intellectual curiosity and independent spirit. Upward's literary contributions included poetry that gained recognition in influential circles. His work was selected for inclusion in the first Imagist poetry anthology, Des Imagistes, published in 1914 and edited by Ezra Pound, a figure central to that movement. This association placed him alongside poets experimenting with new forms and clarity of expression. Beyond literature, Upward also engaged in legal practice and politics, reflecting his deep interest in public affairs and justice. His connection to Edward Upward, as a first cousin once removed, highlights a family with notable literary ties. Upward passed away on 12 November 1926 in Wimborne Minster, United Kingdom. His parents were committed to nurturing his intellectual path.
