Describe Yourself:
Hunter Wallace is an atavism, an Edwardian Renaissance Man in the 21st Century. Ivy Leaguer, MBA. Poet, musician, philosopher, photographer, painter, writer. He does not exist.
HW is devoted to reviving the Anglo-American poetic and writing heritage of the 17th-19th century, especially the Victorian and Edwardian traditions of verse. He is also for restoring the Stuarts to their rightful place as the kings and queens of Great Britain, amongst other quixotic causes.
In reality, HW is the direct descendant of Robert I, King of Scotland, and supports a free and independent Scotland and Wales.
Many of HW's ancestors have roles in the historic plays of Shakespeare. He is a direct descendant of Geoffrey Chaucer and the first Edwardian kings, and blood relative to many of the greatest Anglo-American authors and poets, including John Milton (first cousin, twelve times removed), Percy Bysshe Shelley, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Ray Bradbury, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Locke, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Matthew Barrie (author of 'Peter Pan'), Jack London, Rudyard Kipling, and Aldous Huxley. Poetry and words are in his blood, and he has been writing both since a child, learning how to read from the Brownings, Kipling, Sir Walter Scott, and Cervantes. He is also related to Cary Grant.
Hunter Wallace loves extemporaneous verse, and tries (half-heartedly) to stick to the iambic, but free verse (no, not the Skynyrd song) always gets in the way. He is a true romantic and, to paraphrase Sir Paul McCartney, is not afraid of writing "Silly Love Poems" when the mood strikes, finding verse much more interesting than prose in connecting with the world.
