Marguerite Yourcenar

reader reviews (22 Comments)
Pseudonym of the French writer Marguerite de Crayencour (1903-1987), born in Brussels and who later became a naturalized American citizen. Memoirs of Hadrian (Memoirs of Hadrian(1952) made her internationally known. This success would be confirmed with L'THEblack book (The Work to the Black, 1968), an imaginary biography of a 16th-century hero drawn to hermeticism and science. He also published poems, essays (Sous benéfice d'inventaire, 1978) and memoirs (Archives of the North, 1977), demonstrating an attraction to Greece and Eastern mysticism evident in works such as Mishima ou la vision du vide (1981) and Like coursing water (1982). She was the first woman of Letters to be elected to the French Academy.
