Why Is John Davenport Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, John Lancelot Agard Bramhall Davenport was an English critic and book reviewer who wrote for, amongst other publications, The Observer and The Spectator. He was a mentor to the critic Nora Sayre. Life The son of Robert Davenport , a self-described "dramatic author", writer and illustrator of children's stories, and writer of lyrics for popular songs and the actress Muriel George , Davenport was primarily raised at Barons Court by his grandmother, and subsequently educated at St Paul's and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, at which latter he opted to study rather than taking up a history scholarship he had won to Hertford College, Oxford. He would later compare his childhood to the story of Compton Mackenzie's Sinister Street. Davenport's great-grandfather was the composer and musicologist Sir George Macfarren; Macfarren's daughter had married Francis William Davenport, a professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Royal Academy of Music, who was a collaborator, formerly pupil, of MacFarren. The Davenports were mainly clergymen, originally from Cheshire, and kinsmen of the Davenports of Bramall Hall, at Bramhall, Greater Manchester .
