John Barrington Wain was born in Stoke-on-Trent in 1925, the son of a dentist, and educated at the High School, Newcastle-under-Lyme. Ineligible for military service because of poor eyesight, Wain went up to St John's College Oxford in 1943 to read English. His tutor, C.S.

In 1947 Wain married and moved to Reading to work as a lecturer in English at the university.
As well as teaching he developed his writing, publishing criticism, poetry and fiction. Wain's first book of poetry Mixed Feelings was published in a limited edition at Reading in 1951.
