Autorenporträt
Gerald Cumberland, a British author, journalist, poet, and composer, uses the alias Gerald Cumberland. Kenyon was a poet, essayist, and author of some police fiction. Kenyon, a trained musician, was the Daily Critic's drama and music critic for several years. In 1901, under his own name, he published a study of the work of writer and playwright Hall Caine, followed by a work for beginner musicians in 1904. His musical compositions included The Maiden and the Flower Garden (1914), a children's operetta. Julius Harrison's orchestration of his Cleopatra cantata helped the young Harrison gain fame as a composer. In 1919, under the pseudonym Gerald Cumberland, he published his "Books of Reminiscences," two major critical essays on musical life in England, as well as some police writing. His book Set Down in Malice was largely based on two extended talks with Edward Elgar (1906 and 1913), as well as a meeting with G.B. Shaw in A Terrible Walk.
