Agnes Repplier (1855 - 1950) - Author Collection

Agnes Repplier (April 1, 1855 – November 15, 1950) was an American essayist. She was one of America's chief representatives of the discursive essay, 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.”
