Marguerite Yourcenar

1903 - 1987

Marguerite Yourcenar, pseudonyme de Marguerite Cleenewerck de Crayencour, née le 8 juin 1903 à Bruxelles et morte le 17 décembre 1987 à Bar Harbor dans l'État du Maine (États-Unis), est une femme de lettres française (naturalisée américaine en 1947). Romancière, nouvelliste et autobiographe, elle est aussi poétesse, traductrice, essayiste et critique littéraire. Elle est la première femme élue membre de l'Académie française en 1980.

Des romans historiques aux mémoires autobiographiques, l'œuvre de Yourcenar se caractérise d'abord par l'élaboration esthétique de sa langue, au style épuré et classique, et par le privilège donné à la narration. Inspirée à la fois par la sagesse orientale et la philosophie gréco-latine, la pensée de l'écrivaine se reconnaît notamment dans l'humanisme de la Renaissance entendu comme curiosité universelle nourrie par la lecture des livres anciens.
