His life was blighted by infantile paralysis which left him partially disabled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter an education at Oundle school he trained to be an architect.  However, he quickly decided that his life was to be centred on a literary career.  His first offerings were in drama and as a journalist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as being a book reviewer for the Manchester Guardian he contributed to New Statesman, The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis spiritual journey in early adulthood had claimed him as an agnostic, in defiance of his clergyman father.  This view he later abandoned in preference to describing himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as many novels, many themed with spiritual and philosophical elements.  Beresford was also a gifted short story writer particularly across the science-fiction, horror and ghost genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of these elements helped him to obtain a prominent place in Edwardian Literary London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Davys Beresford died on the 2nd February 1947.
