Career
Beginning in 1888, in addition to a career as a lawyer, he served as editor for the periodical The Artist and Journal of Home Culture, which became something of an official periodical for the movement. In it, he praised such artists as Henry Scott Tuke (to whom he dedicated a homo-erotic sonnet entitled "Sonnet on a picture by Tuke") and Henry Oliver Walker. He also befriended such similar-minded contemporaries as Frederick William Rolfe, Lord Alfred Douglas and John Addington Symonds.
The homosexual and pederastic aspects of The Artist and Journal of Home Culture declined after the replacement of Kains Jackson as an editor in 1894.
According to Kains Jackson, the New Chivalry would promote "the youthful masculine ideal" over the Old Chivalry"s emphasis on the feminine. Jackson"s volumes of poetry include Finibus Cantat Amor (1922) and Lysis (1924).
Other members included Samuel Elsworth Cottam, Montague Summers, and John Gambril Nicholson.
