Drinkwater was born in Leytonstoneand worked as an insurance clerk. In the period immediately before the First World War he was one of the group of poets associated with the Gloucestershire village of Dymock, along with Rupert Brooke and others.In 1918 he had his first major success with his play Abraham Lincoln. He followed it with others in a similar vein, including Mary Stuart and Oliver Cromwell. In 1924, his Lincoln play was adapted for a two-reel short film made by Lee de Forest and J. Searle Dawley featuring Frank McGlynn Sr. as Lincoln, and made in de Forest's Phonofilm sound-on-film process. His first volume of his Collected Poems was published in 1923. He also compiled anthologies and wrote literary criticism, and later became manager of Birmingham Repertory Theatre., Sidgwick & Jackson, 1921, 0<
