| Introduction | I was born and brought up in Surrey, just south of London, and have studied and worked in universities in Kent, Reading, Chambéry and Lyon, France. I am currently working at the Lycée du Parc in Lyon, where I teach in post-secondary 'classes préparatoires'. I am a member of and contributor to the Temenos Academy, an educational charity based in London offering education in philosophy and the arts, co-founded by the English poetess Kathleen Raine. |
| Interests | Shakespeare and Renaissance thought, the Romantic tradition, especially the visionary poetry of Blake, John Clare, Shelley and Keats, T. S. Eliot and W. B. Yeats, Charles Dickens' prolific imagination, the religious and philosophical traditions of East and West, notably the Indian tradition of Advaita Vedanta, the teachings of J.Krishnamurti. |
