Ernest de Sélincourt (1870-1943) was a British academic and literary critic.[1]

He was Oxford Professor of Poetry from 1928 to 1933 and a Fellow of University College, Oxford. After a distinguished career at Oxford, he became Professor of English at Birmingham.[1]

A little known fact about Ernest de Sélincourt is that he went to France in March 1917 as a Professor with the YMCA and this service is duly recorded in the First World War medal rolls.
