Ignatius Royston Dunnachie Campbell, better known as Roy Campbell, (2 October 1901  22 April 1957) was an anglo-African poet and satirist. He was considered by T. S. eliot, Dylan Thomas and Edith Sitwell to have been one of the best poets of the period between the First and Second World Wars. Campbell's vocal attacks upon the Marxism and Freudianism popular among the British intelligentsia caused him to be a controversial figure during his own lifetime. It has been suggested by some critics that his support for Francisco Franco's Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War has caused him to be labelled politically incorrect and blacklisted from modern poetry anthologies. - Wickipedia
