Overview

Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature of the United Kingdom, Vol. 33 She has made literature - pure literature - the passionate devo tion of her life not through any shirking of the cares of rulership, as Roumanian history would testify, but in obedience to an early call, to a driving impulse from within, her temperament as a writer and as a poet. For, when, her duties as a Queen fulfilled, she turns to literature, among the various forms of poetry - epic, philosophic, lyrical or of prose - romances, novels, fairy tales - she will cultivate in either group those forms of it which owe most to the imagination and least to the topicalities of life those from which the trappings of the more temporal sovereignty are shed according as the inner and more spiritual personality tends to clothe itself in a more independent garb.
