Louise Chandler Moulton (April 10, 1835 - August 10, 1908) was an American poet, story-writer and critic. ==Biography== She was born April 10, 1835, the daughter of Lucius L. Chandler, in Pomfret, Connecticut. In 1855, she married a Boston publisher, William U. Moulton (d. 1898), under whose auspices her earliest literary work had appeared in ''The True Flag''. Her first volume of collected verse and prose, ''This, That and the Other'' (1854), was followed by a story, ''Juno Clifford'' (1855), and by ''My Third Book'' (1859); her literary output was then interrupted until 1873 when she resumed activity with ''Bed-time Stories'', the first of a series of volumes, including ''Firelight Stories'' (1883) and ''Stories told at Twilight'' (1890). Meanwhile, she had taken an important place in American literary society, writing regular critiques for the ''New York Tribune'' from 1870 to 1876 and a weekly literary letter for the Sunday issue of the ''Boston Herald'' from 1886 to 1892. In 1876 she published a volume of notable ''Poems'' (renamed ''Swallow flights'' in the English edition of 1877) and visited Europe, where she began close and lasting friendships with leading men and women of letters. Thenceforward she spent the summers in London and the rest of the year in Boston, where her salon was one of the principal resorts of literary talent. In 1889 another volume of verse, ''In the Garden of Dreams'', confirmed her reputation as a poet. She also wrote several volumes of prose fiction, including ''Miss Eyre from Boston and Other Stories'', and some descriptions of travel, including ''Lazy Tours in Spain'' (1896). She was well known for the extent of her literary influence, the result of a sympathetic personality combined with fine critical taste. She died in Boston on August 10, 1908. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louise Chandler Moulton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
