More Information
James Elroy Flecker was born in Lewisham, England, on 5th
November 1884 he was brought up and educated in an Evangelical background,
something he silently rebelled against and did not break free from until going
to Oxford where he soon made a name for himself as something of a wit. He was
first published during this time. Upon leaving leaving university he joined the
Consular Service but was plagued by ill health. It was after being posted to
Beirut that he struck up his friendship with TE Lawrence before moving to
Switzerland to convalesce. It was at this time that his reputation as a great
poet was sealed with the publication of his finest work The Golden Journey to
Samarkand, sadly Flecker was unable to enjoy its success as he passed away at
the sanitorium in 1915.
