Josephine Preston Peabody

    Táto americká poetka a dramatička sa preslávila svojou ranou poéziou, ktorá sa vyznačovala krehkosťou, jasnosťou a istou nadzemskosťou, ovplyvnenou Shakespearom a Pre-rafaelitmi. Neskôr vo svojej tvorbe, najmä v drámach, začala prejavovať rastúci záujem o sociálnu nespravodlivosť. Jej veršované drámy často čerpali z legiend a historických postáv, čím oživovala známe príbehy novým, literárnym pohľadom. Jej dielo tak predstavuje most medzi tradičnými formami a modernými spoločenskými otázkami.
