James Elroy Flecker was born in Londom on November 5, 1884. He was baptised Herman Elroy Flecker, Flecker later chose to use the first name "James", either because he disliked the name "Herman" or to avoid confusion with his father.
James Elroy Flecker educated at Dean Close School, Cheltenham, where his father was the headmaster, and later at Uppingham School. He studied at Trinity College, Oxford, and at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.
James was briefly in the consular service in the Near East before he died of tuberculosis at Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 3, 1915. Though he produced also drama (Hassan, 1922, with music by Frederick Delius, and Don Juan, 1925) and miscellaneous prose (collected in 1920), Flecker claims primary attention for his poems (collected in 1916).
From very derivative beginnings, he progressed to intense concern with technique and revision, stimulated by interest in the French Parnassians. Unhappily, except for The Old Ships and a few others, his sensuously romantic, sometimes exotic pieces, suggest facile inclination rather than compelling passion.
