Overview
Born in England in 1857, Agnes Mary Frances Robinson contributed
to cultural and literary currents from nineteenth-century
Victorianism to twentieth-century modernism; she was equally at
home in London and Paris and prolific in both English and French.
Yet Robinson remains an enigma on many levels. This literary
biography integrates Robinson's unorthodox life with her
development as a writer across genres. Best known for her poetry,
Robinson was also a respected biographer, history writer, travel
writer, and contributor of reviews and articles to the Times
Literary Supplement for nearly forty years. She had a romantic
friendship with the writer Vernon Lee and two happy - and celibate
- marriages. Her salons in London and Paris were attended by major
literary and artistic figures, and she counted amongst her friends
Robert Browning, Oscar Wilde, John Addington Symonds, Gaston Paris,
Ernest Renan, and Maurice Barrès. Reflecting a decade of research
in international archives and family papers, A. Mary F.
Robinson reveals the extraordinary woman behind the popular
writer and critically acclaimed poet.
