H. W. Garrod

His 1923 work, Wordsworth: Lectures and Essays was well received and led to his position as Oxford Professor of Poetry from 1923 to 1928.

In 1925, he resigned his tutorship in classics at Oxford for a research fellowship in English, which had been vacant after the death of W. P. Ker.

His 1939 and 1958 works on John Keats in the series Oxford English Texts remains an important book for scholars.
