	Louis MacNeice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louis MacNeice (known as Freddie until his teens, when he adopted his middle name) was born in Belfast, the youngest son of John and Lily MacNeice.
		MacNeice was generally happy at Sherborne, which gave an education concentrating on the classics (Greek and Latin) and literature (including the memorising of poetry).
		MacNeice also met the writer Eleanor Clark in New York, and arranged to spend the next academic year on sabbatical so that he could be with her.

		Louis MacNeice was born in Belfast, the son of a Church of Ireland clergyman who supported Home Rule; his presence recurs in MacNeice's poems.
		MacNeice's mother suffered gynaecological problems, a mental breakdown, which meant she left the family to go into a nursing-home in 1913, and, finally, death from tuberculosis a year later.
		As she points out, MacNeice found in Yeats's account of his childhood something of a parallel case: MacNeice immediately recognised, for example, “the clannish obsession with one's own family; the combination of an anarchistic individualism with puritanical taboos and inhibitions”.
