  • Rosen was born into a Jewish family in Harrow, Middlesex,[3] with roots in what are now Poland, Russia, and Romania[3] and connections to the Arbeter Ring and the Bund.[4] His father Harold (1919–2008) was born in Brockton, Massachusetts but grew up in the East End of London from the age of two, when his mother left his father and returned to the country of her birth.[5] He attended Davenant Foundation School and then Regent Street Polytechnic.[6] Harold was a secondary school teacher before becoming a professor of English at the Institute of Education in London,.[7] His mother was Connie (née Isakofsky) Rosen (1920-1976).

Connie worked as a secretary at the Daily Worker, and later as a primary school teacher and then a training college lecturer. Both members of the Young Communist League, Harold and Connie met in 1935, aged 16. They participated in the Battle of Cable Street together. As a young couple, they settled in Pinner, Middlesex.

Producing a programme featuring poetry, she persuaded her son to write for it, and used some of the material he submitted.[9] Subsequently, in his own words:
