Was Basil Bunting or Hannah Arendt born first?
Basil Bunting Basil Cheesman Bunting (1 March 1900 – 17 April 1985) was a significant British modernist poet whose reputation was established with the publication of "Briggflatts" in 1966. He had a lifelong interest in music that led him to emphasise the sonic qualities of poetry, particularly the importance of reading poetry aloud. He was an accomplished reader of his own work.
Noel Streatfeild Mary Noel Streatfeild OBE (24 December 1895 –11 September 1986), was an English author, best known for children's books including the "Shoes" books, which were not a series. Random House, the U.S. publisher of the 1936 "Ballet Shoes" (1936), published some of Streatfeild's subsequent children's books using the word "Shoes" in their titles, to capitalize on the popularity of Ballet Shoes; thus "Circus Shoes", "Party Shoes" (in Britain, "Party Frock"). She won the third annual Carnegie Medal for "The Circus Is Coming", also published as "Circus Shoes". She was a member of the historic Streatfeild family.
