Biography

Carr was born in London to a middle-class family, and was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School in London, and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was awarded a First Class Degree in Classics. From 1916 to 1936 he served in the British Foreign Office and was part of the British delegation at the Paris Peace Conference. Later he became an adviser on League of Nations affairs. After being assigned to Riga, Latvia in the 1920s Carr became increasingly fascinated with Russian literature and culture and wrote several works on various aspects of Russian life. Between 1931 and 1937, Carr published many works on historians and history, works that gave much fledgling discipline of international relations. After the war, Carr was a fellow of Balliol College, Oxford, and then Trinity College, where he published most of his popular works “A History of Soviet Union” and “What is History?”. He remained at Trinity College until his death.
