Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BLIND, MATHILDE (18411896) ,
English
  author, was born at
Mannheim
  on the 21st of
March
  1841. Her father was a banker named Cohen, but she took the name of Blind after her step-father, the political writer, Karl Blind (18261907), one of the exiled leaders of the Baden insurrection in 18481849, and an ardent supporter of the various 19th-century movements for the freedom and autonomy of struggling nationalities. The family was compelled to take
refuge
  in England, where Mathilde devoted herself to literature and to the higher education of women. She produced also three
long
  poems, " The Prophecy of St Oran " (1881), " The Heather on Fire". (1886), an indignant protest against the evictions in the Highlands, and " The Ascent of Man " (1888), which was to be the epic of the theory of
evolution
 . She wrote
biographies
  of George Eliot (1883) and Madame Roland (1886), and translated D.F. Strauss's The Old Faith and the New' (18731874) and the Memoirs of Marie
Bashkirtseff
  (1890). She died on the 26th of Nov-ember 1896, bequeathing her property to Newnham College,
Cambridge
 .
A complete edition of her poems was edited by Mr Arthur Symons in 1900, with a biographical introduction by Dr Richard Garnett.
