Autorenporträt
Sir Clive Phillipps-Wolley was a British-Canadian government figure, author, and large game hunter. Perhaps his two most famous compositions are The Sea Queen Wakes (1896) and Coronation Hymn, written to commemorate George V's coronation. Edward Clive Oaknall Long Phillipps was born in 1853 as the eldest son of public schoolteacher Richard Augustus Long Phillipps, who was distantly connected to Lord Robert Clive. He was educated at Rossall School. In 1877, as a legally entitled but distantly connected male inheritor, he successfully petitioned to inherit his great-grandfather's Wolley estate, which included approximately 200 acres. He added the Wolley surname to his own and omitted "Edward" from his legal name. At the age of 20, Phillipps was appointed as vice-consul of the British Legation in Kerch, Crimea. He scouted and hunted large wildlife in the Caucasus. He studied law, was called to the bar at Middle Temple, and practiced for less than a year. After inheriting the Wolley estate, Phillips-Wolley resigned from the British consulate service to join the fourth battalion of the South Wales Borderers, where he taught shooting and rose to the rank of captain.
