Henry Newbolt

    Sir Henry John Newbolt bol anglický básnik, najviac spomínaný pre svoju lyrickú báseň „Vitaï Lampada“. Táto báseň bola počas prvej svetovej vojny využívaná na propagandistické účely. Newboltov poetický odkaz spočíva v jeho schopnosti zachytiť ducha doby a vtisnúť mu silný emocionálny náboj. Jeho dielo často skúma témy cti, povinnosti a idealizmu.
