Autor

Agnes Repplier was an American essayist whose writing combined literary criticism, cultural reflection, and sharp wit. Born in Philadelphia in 1855, she was educated at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and the Agnes Irwin School, though her early schooling was marked by conflict and delayed literacy. Her literary development was guided by a mentor, Mary Paulina Finn, and she eventually became one of the most recognized essayists of her time. Repplier's work was featured in prominent publications like Atlantic Monthly and Catholic World, and she soon established a national reputation for her discursive essays. Her writing often engaged with questions of civility, literature, and contemporary society, balancing a conservative outlook with strong opinions on feminism and international affairs. Over five decades, she published numerous essay collections, biographies, and historical studies, earning her honors from institutions such as Yale, Notre Dame, and the University of Pennsylvania. A lifelong Catholic, she lived mostly in Philadelphia, though she also spent time in Europe. Her voice remains distinct for its elegance, intellect, and enduring cultural insight.
