Wilfrid Scawen Blunt was an English poet, writer, and political figure, born on 17 August 1840 in Petworth, United Kingdom. He is best known for his poetry and literary works, but also for his involvement in the preservation of Arabian horse bloodlines. Blunt, alongside his wife, Lady Anne Blunt, traveled extensively through the Middle East, where they established the Crabbet Arabian Stud, a farm dedicated to preserving the Arabian breed. Blunt s literary career was intertwined with his political and personal interests, and he was an active figure in social and political circles during his time. His writings spanned poetry, political essays, and personal diaries, with some of his most notable works including his critiques on British imperialism and his accounts of his travels in the Middle East. Blunt was married to Lady Anne Blunt, and together they had a daughter, Judith Blunt-Lytton, who later became the 16th Baroness Wentworth. Wilfrid Scawen Blunt passed away on 10 September 1922 at the age of 82 in Sussex, United Kingdom. His legacy lives on both in his literary contributions and his efforts in preserving Arabian horse breeding.
