Ernest de Sélincourt
Ernest de Sélincourt by Frederic Yates
Ernest de Sélincourt (1870–1943) was a British literary scholar and critic.[1] He is best known as an editor of William Wordsworth and Dorothy Wordsworth. He was Oxford Professor of Poetry from 1928 to 1933 and a Fellow of University College, Oxford. After a distinguished career at Oxford, he became Professor of English at Birmingham.[1]
His papers are held at the University of Birmingham Special Collections.
A little known fact about Ernest de Sélincourt is that he went to France in March 1917 as a Professor with the YMCA and this service is duly recorded in the First World War medal rolls.
