Gerald Cumberland is the pseudonym of the British author, journalist, poet, and composer Charles Frederick Kenyon (1879–1926). Kenyon was a librettist, a writer of essays and of some pieces of police literature. Trained as a musician, for several years Kenyon was the drama and music critic of Daily Critic. In 1901 under his own as name, he produced a study of the work of the writer and playwright Hall Caine and in 1904, a work for beginner musicians. As a composer, his musical scores included The Maiden and the Flower Garden (1914), an operetta for children. The orchestration by Julius Harrison of his Cleopatra cantata helped the young Harrison towards recognition as a composer.
