Bax was an Englishman brought up in a prosperous London suburb. His parents were wealthy, cultured Quakers. The Baxes were of distant Dutch extraction. He himself was deeply interested in Celtic folklore and the Irish literary movement known as the Celtic Revival. But he was also, especially early on, fascinated by Russian art and literature, and visited pre-Revolutionary Russia.
