Rupert Hart-Davis (1907 – 1999) was an English man of letters and publisher. He was the junior partner at Jonathan Cape and so had to handle their difficult authors, including Robert Graves and Wyndham Lewis. Also Arthur Ransome, although this was because of Genia, with her “distrustfulness, venom and guile”. He was a close friend of Arthur, sharing an enthusiasm for cricket and rugby (but not fishing). He was Arthur’s literary executor (with John Bell), and, as he had promised, edited and oversaw the publication of The Autobiography of Arthur Ransome in 1976 after Arthur’s and Genia’s deaths.
