Arthur Henry King (20 February 1910 – 15 January 2000), also found as Arthur H. King, was a British poet, writer and academic.

Life

King was educated at the University of Cambridge, England, and Lund University, Sweden, and held a Doctor of Literature in stylistics. He served as Assistant Director-General in charge of Education in England. Beginning in 1943, he was an official in the British Council, serving in Europe, Persia, and Pakistan.

In 1966, after his first wife died, King married his second cousin, Patricia, a Mormon. He later also converted to the Mormon faith.[1] Moving to the United States, King taught English at Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, for several years from 1971 served as an associate director of the University's Honors Program.

King had an international reputation as a poet, author and lecturer. He produced works on sixteenth and seventeenth century literature and English as a foreign language. King asserted that poet Andrew Marvell was a principal influence on his work, but acknowledged the influence of T. S. Eliot and Yeats.

During his academic tenure in Utah, King contributed articles to BYU Studies and A Journal of Mormon Thought, as well as magazines published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
