Gordon Bottomley was born in Yorkshire in 1874, and educated at Keighley Grammar School before becoming a bank clerk. Illness in his late teens forced him to give up work; subsequently spending long periods as an invalid, he took up writing. He was prolific and his theatrical works, including Gruach (1921), were often poetic and experimental.
