The Woman of the Wolf and Other Stories by Renée Vivien

2.5

Curious English speakers can access in translation several editions of the work of Renée Vivien a British-American writer, birth name Pauline Mary Tarn, who loved Paris and chose French to express herself at the beginning of the 20th century. Most recently the prose collection Woman of the Wolf, originally published in 1904 and first translated to English back in 1983, offers fabled short works in a new 2020 edition by indie UK publisher Editions Gallic as part of a ‘Revolutionary Women’ series.

I prefer Renée Vivien’s contributions as a poetess much more than her other examples of writing, however related each form may be.
