他出生于英格兰华威郡拉格比，曾就读于拉格比公学，1907年10月就读剑桥大学国王学院，成为剑桥使徒的一员。他和布卢姆茨伯里派成员关系很好，不过他自己则算是乔治時期诗人（Georgian poets）的一员。1913年3月，他成为剑桥大学国王学院Fellow。

他自1912年受自己的双性恋倾向所困St. Sukie de la Croix. Chicago Whispers: A History of LGBT Chicago before Stonewall . University of Wisconsin Press, 2012, p.36.，导致他和凯瑟琳·莱尔德·科克斯分手。随后前往美国和加拿大散心，在《西敏公报》上出版过旅行日记。
