DUCLAUX, AGNES MARY F . (1856 ), English poet and critic, who first became known in England under her maiden name of Mary F. Robinson, was born at Leamington on the 27th of February 1856. She was educated at University College, London, devoting herself chiefly to the study of Greek literature. Her first volume of poetry, A Handful of
Honeysuckle
 , was published in 1879. Her next
work
  was a
translation
  from Euripides, The Crowned Hippolytus (1881). Monographs on Emily Bronte (1883) and on Marguerite of
Angouleme
  (1886) followed; and The New
Arcadia
  and other Poems (1884) and An Italian Garden (1886) contain some of her best verses. Her poems attracted the attention of the orientalist, James Darmesteter (q.v.), then in Peshawur, and he made an admirable
translation
  of them in. French. The acquaintance led to their
marriage
  in 1888, and from that time a large part of her
work
  was done in French. Madame Darmesteter translated her husband's Etudes anglaises into English (1896): Her most considerable
prose
  work is the Life of Ernest
Renan
  (1897). She also wrote the End of the Middle Ages (1888); the volume on Froissart (1894) in the Grands ecrivains francais; essays on the Brontes, the Brownings and others, entitled Grands ecrivains d'Outre-Manche (1901). After Darmesteter's death, she married in 1901 Emile
Duclaux
 , the associate of Pasteur, and director of the Pasteur institute. He died in 1904. She published Retrospect and other Poems in 1893, and in 1904 appeared The Return to Nature, Songs and Symbols. The qualities of Mary Robinson's work, its conciseness and purity of expression, were only gradually recognized. Her Collected Poems, Lyrical and Narrative were published in 1902.
