A CAMBRIDGE APOSTLE: #248, elected Jan., 1909; resigned March 1919; 1st Class Economics Tripos II 1911, BA 1910.
Shove was born at Ospringe, near Faversham, Kent, the son of Herbert Samuel Shove (1854-1889) and his wife Bertha Millen, (1865-1940). He was educated at Uppingham School and King's College, Cambridge, where he became a member of the Cambridge Apostles. He was also a member of the King's College Walpole Society: eg Gerald Frank Shove, who opposed the motion 'That harlots should not be licensed' (KCAC/1/2/6/1/Shove); the minutes from a meeting on 3 November 1911 show that such freedom wasn't always granted. The tutor had asked the society change the motion 'That harlots should not be licensed', and instead the society discussed the motion 'That cats should not be licensed'!
He married in 1915 Fredegond Maitland, older daughter of historian Frederic William Maitland and his wife the playwright Florence Henrietta Fisher, who later married Sir Francis Darwin, to become Lady Florence Darwin. In World War I he was a conscientious objector, like many others in the Bloomsbury Group, of which he was a member; he worked as a poultry keeper at Garsington, the home of Lady Ottoline Morrell.
His academic career was spent at King's College, Cambridge, becoming lecturer in 1923, Fellow in 1926, and Reader in 1945.
His younger brother was the Olympic rower Ralph Shove; he died at Old Hunstanton, Norfolk. Ralph Samuel Shove (May 1889 – Feb 1966) was a County Court judge and a rower who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics to win a silver medal with his team. His other brother was Captain Herbert William Shove, born Jul. 6 1886, who died Dec. 5, 1943 in Bristol.
“the first was young Cambridge economist Gerald Shove, who moved into Home Close around the middle of 1916 and wa later joined by his wife, Fredegond, Virginia Woolf’s cousin.”
Shove “had assumed moral leadership of the CO’s who worked on the farm. … A practising socialist, he believed it was his duty to expose injustice wherever he found it – even in the house where he was a guest – and one of the first things he did at Garsington was form a union. Most of his fellow CO’s signed up but the farmworkers from the village weren’t so enthusiastic and the idea lapsed. … soon afterwards its leader decamped in a taxi, taking with him a number of the Garsington hens.”
Jane Woolley Reardon Letter from Lytton to Saxon – at a meeting of the Apostles – “Gerald divulged a plan for murdering his younger brother (who is now editor of the Review!).”
“Gerald Shove was almost the sole male member of Bloomsbury who was a genuine absolutionist pacifist. He was running the magazine ‘War and Peace’ for Norman Angell while waiting to be called up. Lytton was fond of Shove, but felt that his pacifism confused the argument against conscription ...,”
“Fredegond Maitland (1889-1949) had also been up at Newnham, from 1910 to 1913. She was the daughter of Vanessa’s cousin Florence Fisher and the historian (and Apostle) F.W. Maitland, whose biography she wrote. In 1915 she married the economist Gerald Shove, and Apostle and Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge …”

"Gerald Frank Shove (1887-1947) was a friend of Rupert Brooke at Cambridge and a political radical. He became a protégé of John Maynard Keynes and was associated with the Cambridge Apostles and the Bloomsbury Group.
He obtained a lectureship in Cambridge in 1923, where his relationships with fellow economists such as Keynes, shed light on the development of Keynesian and post-Keynesian economics. Like Keynes, he was convinced of the need to link economic, social and political analysis and argument."
