Educated at Exeter College, Oxford, Noyes failed to get a degree. He published his first collection of poetry, The Loom of Years, in 1902. Over the next five years Noyes was very productive and published an additional five volumes of poetry. In 1907, he married and travelled to America. In 1914, he was appointed Professor of Modern English Literature at Princeton University. His first wife died in 1926 and Noyes remarried in 1929. They moved to the Isle of Wight where Noyes continued to write until the outbreak of war. He and his wife spent most of the war in America and first returned to Great Britain in 1949. In 1953, he published Two Worlds For Memory, an autobiography which described their life between America and England. His other works include Poems (1904), Drake: An English Epic (1906), Forty Singing Seamen & Other Poems (1907), Beyond the Desert: A Tale of Death Valley (1920), the Torch-Bearers trilogy, Watchers of the Sky (1922), The Book of Earth (1925) and The Last Voyage (1930), The Unknown God (1934), Orchard's Bay (1939), A Letter to Lucian (1956) and The Accusing Ghost: or Justice for Casement (1957). |
