Vivian de Sola Pinto

Vivian de Sola Pinto (1895–1969) was a British poet, literary critic and historian. He was a leading scholarly authority on D. H. Lawrence, and appeared for the defence (Penguin Books) in the 1960 "Lady Chatterley's Lover" trial.

He was a close friend of Siegfried Sassoon, having fought in World War I alongside him, as his second-in-command, in France. He appears in the 'Sherston' books ("Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man" etc.) written by Sassoon as Velmore.

After the war he was at the University of Oxford. Later he was Professor in the Department of English at the University of Nottingham, from 1938 until 1961.

He is also known as the translator of France Prešeren's poetry into the English language.
