Eleanor Merry (17 December 1873 inEton, Berkshire, UK – 16 June 1956 inFrinton-on-Sea, Essex, UK), was an English poet, artist, musician and anthroposophist interested in esotericism. She studied in Vienna and metRudolf Steiner in 1922 after becoming interested in his teachings. She later organized Summer Schools at which Steiner gave lectures, and was secretary for the World Conference on Spiritual Science in London in 1928.[1]
Her father was a classical scholar and professor of Ancient Greek, Herbert Snow aka Kynaston.[2] She began to attend school at the age of 13.
She married a surgeon, Merry, and they had a son and daughter.
In 1922 her husband died of pneumonia.
She was present at the founding of the new GeneralAnthroposophical Society at theGoetheanum inDornach, Switzerland around New Year 1923/24. It is likely that the theme of the ensuing Summer School at Torquay in 1924, "True and False Paths in Spiritual Investigation" (GA 243). stemmed from a conversation she had with Rudolf Steiner on this occasion.[3]
