Excerpt from Margaret of Anguolême, Queen of Navarre It is thus, as an organic part of the history of her time, as an in?uence, as an inspiring spirit, that I have tried to depict her, and not as a sequestered individual. The task is intricate and large, and the space given me to fill is very narrow. But, so far as it goes, this little sketch may, perhaps, be of some service in indicating the movements of the earlier French Renaissance. I have tried to make it, as far as possible, correct. I have, in most instances, sought my facts in the many published volumes of original documents, rather than in any subsequent history; and where I have given an unusual date, it is, I hope, most often because recent research has disproved the earlier reading.

Excerpt from The Collected Poems, Lyrical and Narrative, of A. Mary F. Robinson (Madame Duclaux): With a Preface and Portrait We cannot all be great poets but the humblest, it they be sincere, may give a genuine pleasure. I have marked in red the days on which I discovered certain poets, most certainly minor, who died centuries ago. With what delight I made acquaintance with Ausonius and Dr. Donne, still more so with joachim de Bellay, Marie de France, or Shahid the Bactrian: dear, en chanting books, exhumed from the dustiest corner of the library, that never counted on me for an audience. I may have to wait as long till I repay my debt to some other student who perchance, beside a bookstall of Cape Town or Honolulu, may fish my poems from the fourpenny box, or light on them in some anthology. But I count on his appreciation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

critic essayist novelist translator poet
Agnes Duclaux was born under her maiden name of Mary F. Robinson, in Leamington, Warwickshire, on the 27th of February 1857.
Agnes was educated at University College, London, devoting herself chiefly to the study of Greek literature.
Her first volume of poetry, A Handful of Honeysuckle, was published in 1879. Her next work was a translation from Euripides, The Crowned Hippolytus (1881). Monographs on Emily Brontë (1883) and on Marguerite of Angoulême (1886) followed; and The New Arcadia and other Poems (1884) and An Italian Garden (1886) contain some of her best verses.
Her poems attracted the attention of the orientalist, James Darmesteter (q. v. ), then in Peshawur, and he made an admirable translation of them in French. Her most considerable prose work is the Life of Ernest Renan (1897). She also wrote the End of the Middle Ages (1888); the volume on Froissart (1894) in the Grands écrivains français; essays on the Brontës, the Brownings and others, entitled Grands écrivains d’Outre-Manche (1901).
She published Retrospect and other Poems in 1893, and in 1904 appeared The Return to Nature, Songs and Symbols. The qualities of Mary Robinson’s work, its conciseness and purity of expression, were only gradually recognized. Her Collected Poems, Lyrical and Narrative were published in 1902.

In 1888, Robinson married James Darmesteter, a Jewish professor at the College de France. Darmesteter died on October 19, 1894 from a short illness and left Robinson widowed at age 38. In 1902 she married Emile Duclaux, a student of the biologist and chemist Louis Pasteur.
