R. N. D. Wilson
Robert (or Robin) Noble Denison Wilson, known as R. N. D. Wilson (1899–1953) was an Irish poet.
From 1934–44 he was a teacher at Rendcomb College.[1] His published work includes the collection The Holy Wells of Orris and other poems (London, John Lane The Bodley Head, 1927),[2] the style of which has been described as "early Yeatsian romanticism".[3] Austin Clarke, while agreeing that the book was too much influenced by Yeats, observed that the poem "Saint Apollinare in Classe" 'anticipated the romanticism of the Byzantine poems' of Yeats.[4] Wilson's poem "Elegy in a Presbyterian Burying-Ground" was included in the 1974 Faber Book of Irish Verse.
Other books included:
- Equinox, T. Nelson (London / New York, 1937).[5]
- Raghley, O Raghley : and other poems, (Edinburgh : Printed for Lawrence Wilson by Robert Mitchell and Sons, 1955).[6]
