Edmund John

Edmund John

Edmund John (27 November 1883 - 28 February 1917) was a British poet of the Uranian school whose verses were modelled on the Symbolist poetry of Swinburne and other earlier poets. Much of his work was condemned by critics for being overly decadent and unfashionable. He fought in the First World War, but was invalided out in 1916. He died at Taormina, in Sicily, a year later.
