Author Description Alfred Noyes was the son of Alfred and Amelia Adams Noyes. His father was a teacher and taught Latin and Greek and in Aberystwyth, Wales. In 1898, Alfred attended Exeter College in Oxford. Though he failed to earn a degree, the young poet published his first collection of poetry, <i>The Loom of Years</i>, in 1902.<br /><br />Between 1903 and 1908, Noyes published five volumes of poetry including <i>The Forest of Wild Thyme</i> (1905) and <i>The Flower of Old Japan and Other Poems</i> (1907). His books were widely reviewed and were published both in Britain and the United States. Among his best-known poems from this time are <i>The Highwayman</i> and <i>Drake</i>. Drake, which appeared serially in Blackwood's Magazine, was a two-hundred page epic about life at sea.<br /><br />Noyes married Garnett Daniels in 1907, and they had three children. His increasing popularity allowed the family to live off royalty cheques. In 1914, Noyes accepted a teaching position at Princeton University, where he taught English Literature until 1923. He was a noted critic of modernist writers, particularly James Joyce. Likewise, his work at this time was criticized by some for its refusal to embrace the modernist movement.<br /><br />For more information, please see <a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/alfred-noyes">http://www.answers.com/topic/alfred-n...</a>
