Autorenporträt
Agnes Repplier (1855-1950) was an American essayist renowned for her sharp wit and insightful commentary on contemporary society. With a career that spanned over six decades, Repplier contributed to the intellectual vibrancy of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her collection 'In the Dozy Hours, and Other Papers' showcases her talent for combining intellectual rigor with an engaging prose style. Born in Philadelphia to a well-to-do family, Repplier was educated at home and at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, though she was expelled for her independent spirit and irreverence. Unrestricted by formal academic bounds, she turned to reading voraciously, favoring French and English literature, which would significantly influence her writing. Repplier's articulation of opinions on literature, philosophy, and life resonated with many, and her essays were published in prestigious magazines such as 'The Atlantic Monthly,' 'Harper's,' and 'The Century Magazine'. Her literary style is characterized by its elegance, erudition, and a subtle humor that earned her the respect of fellow writers and intellectuals. Repplier's work served as an inspiration for women writers at a time when female voices were often marginalized. Her body of work, which includes over a dozen volumes of essays along with biographies and historical writings, remains an undervalued treasure in American literature, offering timeless perspectives on the human condition.
