Jon Stallworthy était un éminent universitaire et poète dont l'œuvre a fréquemment exploré les thèmes de la guerre et de la mémoire. Professeur d'anglais à l'Université d'Oxford, il a consacré sa vie à l'étude et à la promotion de l'art littéraire. Ses poèmes et ses écrits critiques plongent dans de profondes expériences humaines, en particulier l'impact des conflits de guerre. L'engagement de Stallworthy envers sa propre histoire familiale a inspiré une poésie qui relie les récits personnels à des événements historiques plus larges.
