Henry Robin Romilly Fedden, CBE (26 November 1908 – 20 March 1977)[1] was an English writer, diplomat and mountaineer.
[1] During their undergraduate years he and Redgrave, alongside the art historian Anthony Blunt, edited an avant-garde literary magazine called The Venture, which published work by Louis MacNeice, Julian Bell and John Lehmann.
[3] Upon going down from Cambridge, Fedden served as a diplomat in Athens and taught English literature at Cairo University.
He was one of the Cairo poets, and co-edited the literary journal Personal Landscape with Lawrence Durrell and Bernard Spencer.
Miller "hated [Fedden's] stammer and his effete way of talking and ... framed a sharply satirical portrait of him in the Colossus," wrote Lawrence Durrell in a letter in 1977.
