Herbert Edward Read (1893–1968) was a British anarchist,
poet and literary critic, among other writings including poetry, he wrote considerably on the role of art in education. Read was
co-founder of the Institute of Contemporary Arts. He was one of the earliest British writers to take notice of existentialism. In the eyes of a lot of anarchists he blotted his copy book by accepting those three letters in front of his name, Sir. Of course that doesn't take anything away from what he said and wrote.
