Harriet Monroe citations

Harriet Monroe, née le 23 décembre 1860 à Chicago dans l'Illinois et morte le 26 septembre 1936 à Arequipa au Pérou, est une éditrice, poétesse, critique littéraire et mécène américaine. En raison du mécénat qu'elle fait auprès des poètes américains au tournant du XXe siècle et de son implication dans leur promotion, notamment grâce au magazine Poetry qu'elle fonde et dirige en 1912, elle a joué un rôle prépondérant dans le développement de la poésie moderne aux États-Unis.
