Edmond Holmes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edmond Gore Alexander Holmes (1850-1936) was an English writer and poet. His The Creed of the Buddha (1908) is well known; he also wrote a pantheist text All is One: A Plea for a Higher Pantheism.

Words from his The Triumph of Love were set to music by the composer Charles Villiers Stanford, a friend.

He was also a schools inspector, rising to a senior level and resigning in 1911, in disagreement on curriculum policy. His subsequent writings on education are taken as an early statement of 'progressive' and 'child-centred' positions, and are still cited. Later works come close to theosophy.
