Cecil Harwood (1898-1975) was a remarkable figure in the world of education and culture. He was a lecturer, Waldorf teacher, writer, editor, and anthroposophist who played a significant role in pioneering and developing the first Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf) school in the United Kingdom. The New School in London, now known as Michael Hall School in Sussex, was founded under his leadership. Harwood's journey began in 1922 when he attended a festival of English folk song and dance in Cornwall, alongside his lifelong friend Owen Barfield. It was during this festival that he encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner through meeting Daphne Olivier. Sun King's Counsellor, written by Blaxland-de Lange, provides a detailed account of the human connections, cultural movements, and spiritual background that converged in Cornwall in 1922, leading to Harwood's life's work.
The book offers a captivating portrayal of Harwood's early years, marriages to Daphne Olivier and Margaret Lundgren, friendships with Barfield and C.S. Lewis, his life-changing meeting with anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner, his teaching and educational work, and his critical role in healing divisions within the Anthroposophical Society. Blaxland-de Lange's biography, based on extensive research of primary sources, reveals the multi-faceted, flexible, and sacrificial nature of this unique personality.
Cecil Harwood's legacy continues to inspire and influence educators and individuals seeking a deeper understanding of education and human development. His dedication to promoting Rudolf Steiner's educational principles and his commitment to fostering unity within the Anthroposophical Society are remarkable achievements that have left a lasting impact on the world.
