About Oliver W. F. Lodge
Oliver William Foster Lodge (11 August 1878 – 17 April 1955) was an English poet and author; he was the eldest son of Sir Oliver Lodge (1851–1940), the physicist, and his wife Mary (née Marshall), who had studied painting at the Slade. His five brothers all qualified as engineers, so that he was the only one of the boys with literary leanings, although their uncle Sir Richard Lodge and their aunt Eleanor Constance Lodge both became distinguished academic historians. They grew up in Liverpool, close to Sefton Park, and frequented the Rathbone family of Greenbank House.
