Fredegond Shove

Fredegond Shove

Fredegond Shove (née Maitland, 1889 - 1949) was an English poet.

Fredegond was the daughter of the historian Frederic William Maitland and his wife Florence Henrietta Fisher. She married the economist Gerald Shove.

Her work was included in the 1918-19 Georgian poetry volume. Later Ralph Vaughan Williams (her aunt Adeline Fisher was his first wife) set four of her poems to music.

Socially she was on the fringe of the Bloomsbury group, but mostly resident in Cambridge.

Her poems "Motion and Stillness", "Four Nights", "The New Ghost", and "The Water Mill" were set to music by Ralph Vaughan Williams in "Four Poems by Fredegond Shove" for baritone and piano (1922).
