R. N. D. Wilson

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. [George Davis, "The Old Rendcombian Society Newsletter", 2002, pages 5-6. [http://www.rendcombian.org.uk/2002/page5.htm] ] His published work includes the collection "The Holy Wells of Orris and other poems" (London, John Lane The Bodley Head, 1927), [British Library Integrated Catalogue] , the style of which has been described as "early Yeatsian romanticism". [Norman Vance, "Irish Literature Since 1800", Pearson Education (2002), page 174. ISBN 0582494788] 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. [Austin Clarke, "Reviews and Essays of Austin Clarke", Rowman & Littlefield (1995), page 163. ISBN 0861403371] 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). [National Library of Ireland Catalogue]
*"Raghley, O Raghley : and other poems", (Edinburgh : Printed for Lawrence Wilson by Robert Mitchell and Sons, 1955). [National Library of Ireland Catalouge]
