READ, Sir Herbert (Edward)
- READ, Sir Herbert (Edward)
(1893-1968)
UK poet and prolific critic of art, literature and politics; knighted 1953. His only novel, The Green Child (1935), is a remarkable double UTOPIA in which two visions of ideal human life - one a Latin-American political utopia, the other a mystical, underground realmin which human aspirations are transcended - mirror one another, comprising together a critique and dramatic metaphor of the utopian impulse as a whole.
