TEMENOS 2: A Review Devoted to the Arts of the Imagination

Temenos: A Review Devoted to the Arts of the Imagination launched in 1980 with first publication in 1981. Temenos was cofounded by Kathleen Raine, Philip Sherrard, Keith Critchlow, and Brian Keeble, and was produced for thirteen volumes. The word "temenos" means "sacred place" or "sacred enclosure". The journal's objective was "The affirmation, at the highest level of scholarship and talent, and in terms of the contemporary situation, of the Sacred." The Prince of Wales was sufficiently impressed by the journal to sponsor the Temenos Academy in 1990. The thirteenth and last issue of Temenos appeared in 1992. By 1998, the journal reappeared as the Temenos Academy Review. Contributors to Temenos 2 are John Allitt, Thomas Blackburn, Keith Crichtlow, Steven Cross, Yves de Bayser, David Gascoyne, Brian Keeble, Tom Lowenstein, Jean Mambrino, Caitlin and John Matthews, David Middleton, John Montague, Seyyed Hussein Nasr, Santosh Pall, Kathleen Raine, Jeremy Reed, Anthony Rooley, Peter Russell, Philip Sherrard, and Huston Smith.
