John Betjeman, son of Ernest Edward Betjemann (a furniture manufacturer) and Mabel Bessie Dawson, was born at Parliament Hill Mansions, north London. John adopted his style of spelling the family name around the age of twenty-one (the name can be traced back to Dutch or German origin). After attending Byron House Montessori School, where he was briefly taught by T. S. Eliot, Betjeman went on to enroll in Magdalen College, Oxford where he studied for three years. After refusing his father's offer to enter the family business, Betjeman worked in various jobs including a position as private secretary to Sir Horace Plunkett, as an assistant editor of the Architectural Review, as a film critic of the London Evening Standard, and as the British Press attaché in Dublin during World Ward II. During this time Betjeman also proved to be a prolific writer. He published frequently during the 1930s and 1940s and achieved great success when the first edition of his Collected Poems (1958) sold over 100,000 copies. Readers were very receptive to Betjeman's work as it was easily accessible and presented them with the nearly forgotten pleasures of rhyme and metre - qualities that were rarely found in modern poetry. Furthermore, Betjeman's poetry focuses on the everyday experiences of his readers, another rarity amongst his contemporaries. By in the 1950's, Betjeman focused on book reviewing, broadcasting and writing poetry. His position as a broadcaster enabled him to attract public attention on his personal passion for architecture; he even managed to save many buildings that were being threatened with demolition. A celebrated national figure, John Betjeman received many honours, including being chosen as poet laureate in 1972 and receiving a knighthood in 1969. During his later years the poet suffered from the onset of Parkinson's disease, and after a series of strokes he died at his home in Trebetherick, Cornwall, on 19 May 1984.

Robert Stephen Hawker was born on Dec. 3, 1803, to Jacob Stephen Hawker and Jane Elizabeth Drewitt. He was educated at Liskeard and Cheltenham Grammar Schools, and Pembroke College and Magdalen College, Oxford, receiving his B.A. in 1828. Hawker brought out his first book of poems, Tendrils, in 1821, and won the Newdigate Prize at Oxford for a poem on Pompeii in 1827. After being ordained a priest in the Anglican Church in 1831, Hawker settled down in the vicarage at Morwenstow, Cornwall, in 1837, with his wife, Charlotte Eliza Rawleigh I'ans, whom he had married on Nov. 6, 1823. Other books of verse came out in 1832, 1840, 1843, and 1844, but only when Charles Dickens acknowledged his authorship of "The Song of the Western Men" on Nov. 20, 1852, in Household Words, did Hawker become well known as a poet. After Charlotte died on Feb. 2, 1863, Hawker published The Quest of the Sangraal (1864) and remarried, to Pauline Anne Kuczynski, on Dec. 21 that year. His Cornish Ballads was published in 1869. Hawkins converted to Roman Catholicism before his death at 9 Lockyer St., Plymouth, on August 15, 1875. He was survived by his wife and three daughters. The photograph of Robert Stephen Hawker, at 61, taken by Dr. Richard Budd at Barnstaple in 1864, appears in C. E. Byles' The Life and Letters of R. S. Hawker (1906), opp. p. 482.
