Description

Poet, novelist, historian, university lecturer, Royal Air Force officer, and philanthropist, Acton's true vocation was that of an aesthete with a mission, in his own words, to "excite rage in the hearts of the Philistines." He "created the fashion for Oxford bags; trousers which had a lot of fabric in the legs."
