Ferenc Békássy, Anglo-Hungarian poet (1893-1915), read history at King’s College, Cambridge. John Maynard Keynes liked him and visited the Békássys in Hungary in September 1912 and he has a memorial plaque in King’s Chapel. He died on the Russian front in June 1915, a few months after the death of the poet Rupert Brooke, both were in love with Noel Olivier, Békássy’s friend from Bedales School. A small renaissance of Ferenc Békássy’s work has occurred in Hungary and selected English poetry and letters will soon published in England by Skyscrapers Publications. George Gömöri
