Portrait of Hermon Ould, first secretary of the English Centre (1921-51) international secretary of PEN International (1926-51) and president of PEN International (1941-47). The poet and dramatist Hermon Ould served as the driving force for PEN since its foundation until his death in 1951. He served as secretary to the English Centre from its inception in 1921, became international secretary of PEN International at the Berlin Congress in 1926, and president of PEN International in 1941. During Ould’s time PEN grew from a dining club for writers to an influential international organisation.
