About

Kathleen Raine Synopsis

"This book considers Raine's engagement with Graeco-Roman philosophy in her poetry, scholarship, essays, and autobiographical writings. Kathleen Raine was a poet, literary scholar, and co-founder of the Temenos Academy, an educational charity dedicated to the study of world philosophies. Her interpretation of the classical past informed her persona as poet and scholar, and in both tasks she sought to reintroduce to Western society what she viewed as the lost symbolic discourse of a 'perennial philosophy'.

Her way of seeing the world, traceable from antiquity to the present day, distinguished no separation between inner self and outer world and stressed the interconnectedness of all beings"--.
