 1) Grantly, britischer Gynäkologe, Dick-Read, Grantly.
 
 2) Sir (seit 1953) Herbert Edward, englischer Kunsthistoriker und Schriftsteller, * bei Kirkbymoorside (County North Yorkshire) 4. 12. 1893, ✝ Malton (County North Yorkshire) 12. 6. 1968; war u. a. Professor in Edinburgh und 1933-39 Herausgeber des »Burlington Magazine«. Als Kritiker betonte er die Bedeutung der Moderne (»Form in modern poetry«, 1932; »The philosophy of modern art«, 1952) und beschäftigte sich aus tiefenpsychologischer wie anthropologischer Sicht mit Fragen des Stils (»English prose style«, 1928), des Ursprungs der Kunst (»The grass roots of art«, 1946; deutsch »Wurzelgrund der Kunst«) sowie mit dem Problem künstlerischer Wahrheit (»The cult of sincerity«, 1968). Seine zunächst vom Imagismus beeinflusste, stilistisch elegante Lyrik (»Songs of chaos«, 1915; »The end of war«, 1933) sowie sein Roman »The green child« (1935) sind geprägt von der Suche nach humanistischen Werten.
 
Weitere Werke: Lyrik: Collected poems (1946).
 
Kunstkritik: A concise history of modern painting (1959; deutsch Geschichte der modernen Malerei); A concise history of modern sculpture (1964; deutsch Geschichte der modernen Plastik).
 
Autobiographie: The contrary experience (1963).
