Abstract
Kathleen Jessie Raine was born in London and educated at the County High School, Ilford, and at Girton College, Cambridge, where she was a research fellow from 1955 to 1961. Her marriage to the left-wing poet Charles Madge (1912–) was dissolved. Scotland is the background to many of her poems which show a keen awareness of nature and, she says, ‘of the sacred’. Collected Poems appeared in 1981. She has published critical work on William Blake.
