Wilfrid Meynell (1852-1948)

Wilfrid Meynell (1852-1948) was an English poet, essayist, and journalist. Meynell edited periodicals and wrote stories, verse, and articles, sometimes under his own name and sometimes as "John Oldcastle," "Francis Phillimore," or anonymously. He discovered the poet Francis Thompson, who for 19 years was an adopted son in the Meynell household.
