Denis Saurat
Denis Saurat (March 21, 1890 – June 7, 1958) was an Anglo-French scholar, writer, and broadcaster on a wide range of topics, including explaining French society and culture to the English and what he called "philosophical poetry."
==Biography==
He was born in Toulouse and died in Nice, France, but his most active years were spent in London, England. His views on the connection in the early modern period between the poetry of Edmund Spenser and John Milton and the occult, represented in particular by the Kabbalah, were ahead of their time: without surviving close scholarly analyses, they anticipated later studies such as those of Frances Yates.〔E.g. Frances Amelia Yates, ''The Occult Philosophy in the Elizabethan Age'' (1999 edition), pp. 178-9.〕 He also interpreted in light of Philosophical Poetry the Prophetic Books of William Blake and discussed Blake's relationship to Milton and Celtic antiquarians.〔Mona Wilson, ''The Life of William Blake'', notes p. 118, 191, 296.〕
After receiving a doctorate of the University of Bordeaux, and a ''lauréat des concours d'agrégation'' in 1919, he became associated with the Department of French at King's College London from 1920, where he was a professor from 1926. He was also director for many years of the French Institute of London (''Institut Français'') in South Kensington. During World War II his position there and his wish to maintain the autonomy of the Institut led him into a serious clash with Charles de Gaulle. This concerned not only the politics of the Free French, but also Saurat's resistance to the General's technocratic ambitions for the ''Institut''. Under official pressure to move to Bristol, Saurat came through with support from Vere Ponsonby, 9th Earl of Bessborough.〔Nicholas Atkin, ''The Forgotten French'' (2003), p. 213.〕 Instead, he resigned from the Institut, retired from the University,and settled in Nice. In his last years he took an active interest in PEN International, composed poems in Occitan, his mother tongue, and wrote best-selling books of speculative non-fiction on Atlantis and the early history of Earth.
