privately published seems self-contradictory. Shouldn't it rather be privately printed?
S.
I might be wrong, but I remember that Marguerite Yourcenar died recently; I would say 2003 or 2004, certainly not 1987. Positron
According to http://www.booksfactory.com/writers/yourcenar.htm, the date of death is correct. RickK 22:06, Jun 26, 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, you are right. What I heard of in 2003 was the centenary celebration. Positron
[edit] "Antinous"
I would guess that "Antinous" is actually Antoninus Pius. So is the novel in the form of a letter to Antoninus Pius, or to Marcus Aurelius? -- Jmabel 07:39, Jun 27, 2004 (UTC)
- I believe it starts "Mon cher Marc", and does not specifically address anyone else, but I need to confirm this. martin
Antinous is the youth who receives Hadrian affection, not Antoninus Pius.
[edit] Time spent on Hadrian's Memoirs
In Yourcenar's own afterword to Hadrian, I think she says she spent several decades on the book. Again--this is something to verify. martin (June 2005)
[edit] French and English titles
I've done my best to line up the French and English titles of works. I suspect that a few more of the English titles may correspond to specific works published in French, but I've done what I could sort out. - Jmabel | Talk 04:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
