Autor

Alice Meynell (1847-1922) was an English poet, essayist, and suffragist renowned for her contemplative and lyrical style that resonates with themes of nature, spirituality, and the human experience. Born Alice Christiana Gertrude Thompson in Barnes, London, to well-educated parents, she was largely self-educated at home, developing a passion for literature and writing from an early age. Meynell's literary career was marked by her meticulous craftsmanship and nuanced expression, which is vividly reflected in her 'Later Poems' - a collection that showcases the mature period of her poetic work. Her poetry is characterized by its rhythmic elegance and depth of emotion, earning her recognition within literary circles and a devoted readership. Meynell's contributions to literature extended beyond her poetry; she was also a prominent critic and essayist, offering insightful analyses that further established her reputation in the arts. Her works often draw attention to societal issues and the role of women, subtly advocating for gender equality during a time when the female voice was frequently undervalued. A testament to her influence, Meynell was considered for the role of Poet Laureate after the death of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, a nomination that underscores her significance in Victorian literature.
