Agnes Repplier (April 1, 1855[1] – December 15, 1950) was an American essayist.

Early years

She was born in Philadelphia in 1855,[2] of French and German extraction,[3] and was educated at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Eden Hall at Torresdale, Philadelphia, and later at the Agnes Irwin School. Repplier was reputedly expelled from two schools for "independent behaviour" and illiterate until the age of ten.[2]

Career

Despite her school experiences, she became one of America's chief representatives of the discursive essay,[4] displaying wide reading and apt quotation. Her writings contain literary criticism as well as comments on contemporary life. These characteristics were already apparent in the first essay which she contributed to the Atlantic Monthly (April 1886), entitled “Children, Past and Present.”[5]

Repplier's earliest national publications appeared in 1881 in Catholic World. Although she did write several biographies and some fiction, early in her career she decided to concentrate on essays, and for 50 years she enjoyed a national reputation. She was awarded honorary degrees by the University of Pennsylvania (1902), Notre Dame (1911), Yale (1925), and Columbia University (1927).[6]

Personal life

She was a heavy smoker. Repplier was a devout Catholic, and had a conservative's outlook on the issues of the day.[3] She was an advocate of feminism and opponent of American neutrality during World War One, though an opponent of radicals and activists.[2] Living and dying in Philadelphia, she also spent time in Europe.[2]

Edward Wagenknecht described her, in 1946, as "our dean of essayists".[2]
