Alfred Noyes

    16. září 1880 – 28. červen 1958

    Alfred Noyes byl básník a literární kritik, který se proslavil svou narativní poezií a odmítáním modernismu. Jeho díla, často zaměřená na témata jako historie, moře a lidská zkušenost, se vyznačovala klasickou formou a melodickým jazykem. Noyes kritizoval avantgardní tendence své doby a jeho vlastní tvorba tak představovala most k tradičnějším literárním hodnotám. Přestože nezískal univerzitní titul, jeho publikovaná díla dosáhla značné popularity a mezinárodního uznání, čímž si zajistil místo v literární historii.
