Synopsis

Marguerite Yourcenar (1903-1987) was born into an aristocratic Flemish family in Brussels. She first started to write in her adolescent years. After the death of her father, she was able to support herself independently by her writing, producing many novels, plays, poems, critical essays, letters, and three volumes of personal memoirs, most of which were written in French and translated into English.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume forms part of the Life and Times series of compact and accessible biographies which cover key political, literary and musical figures. This title is about the life and work of Marguerite Yourcenar (1903-87), one of the most respected figures of modern French letters and the author of many novels, plays, poems, critical essays, letters and memoirs. The scion of an ancient aristocratic Flemish family, she lived most of her life in semi-seclusion with her partner, Grace Frick, on a barren island off the US coast of Maine, far from the Parisian literary scene which adored her work.
