A short piece in Bluestocking Oxford on Kathleen Raine

The August issue of Bluestocking Oxford includes a feature by Kirsten MacQuarrie, "As woman is, so she sees: winding the golden string of Dr Kathleen Raine’s William Blake scholarship":

Unique amongst her academic colleagues in being equipped to approach the ‘pantheon’ of William Blake (1757 – 1827) from the perspective of a fellow poet, Dr Kathleen Raine (1908 – 2003) recognised the importance of not simply reading what her subject wrote but reading what he read.
