WELCOME!
The E-BNR aims to build a comprehensive & unique cross-artform guide to
the British neo-Romantic tradition,
from 1880 to the present day.
While the British Romantics of 1789-1824 have spawned a vast industry of
publishers, conferences & tourism, the later neo-Romantic traditions
remain largely neglected. The E-BNR is aimed at bringing this hidden
tradition to light.

ENTRY: Raine, Kathleen
Kathleen Jessie Raine (b. June 14, 1908 – d. July 6, 2003) was a
British poet, critic and independent scholar, writing in particular on William Blake and
the early work of W.B. Yeats.
Raine was born in Ilford, Essex, the son of an English teacher, and brought up partly in Northumberland.
She forever resented the loss of her rural idyll for the bland suburbia of Essex.
She read Natural Sciences and Psychology at Girton College, Cambridge. Her first book of poetry was Stone And Flower (1943).
Her Collected Poems (2000) drew from eleven volumes.
Her book Blake and Tradition was published in 1968.
In 1980 she founded Temenos, a periodical "devoted to the arts of the imagination", and later
the Temenos Academy in London in 1990 as a new "school of wisdom".
When asked how she wished to be remembered, Raine asked that Blake's
words be said of her: "That in time of trouble, I kept the divine vision".
