Charles Stuart Calverley was an English poet and wit. He was the literary father of what has been called "the university school of humour".
Although naturally lazy, he was outstandingly gifted; he was a scholar, a musician, an athlete and a brilliant conversationalist. His sparkling verses were much imitated. His good-natured humour and "keen but kind" satire are still admired. His light verse had polish and elegance.
