Lady Margaret Sackville
Lady Margaret Sackville (24 December 1881 – 18 April 1963) was an English poet and children’s author.
Born at 60 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair, Lady Margaret was the youngest child of Reginald Windsor Sackville, 7th Earl De La Warr She was a second cousin of Vita Sackville-West.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://images.npg.org.uk/groupsMedia/familyTrees/Sackville-West_family.pdf )〕
==Poetry==
She began to write poetry at an early age and at sixteen became a ''protegée'' of Wilfrid Scawen Blunt. With his encouragement, she had her early poems published in periodicals such as ''The English Review'', the ''Englishwoman's Review'', ''Country Life'', ''The Nation'', ''The Spectator'' and the ''Pall Mall Gazette''. She published her first book of poems, ''Floral Symphony'', in 1900. In 1910 she edited ''A Book of Verse by Living Women''. In her introduction, she noted that poetry was one of the few arts in which women were allowed to engage without opposition and made a direct connection between women's social freedom and the freedom of the imagination.〔(Lady Margaret Sackville ), Orlando Project.〕
When the Poetry Society was formed in 1912, Lady Margaret was made its first president.〔Jane Dowson and Alice Entwistle (2005). ''(A History of Twentieth-Century Women's Poetry )''. Cambridge University Press, p. xv. ISBN 0-521-81946-6.〕 She had also been the first president of its predecessor, the Poetry Recital Society, formed in 1909. Joy Grant, in her biography of Harold Monro, writes that Lady Margaret "spoke well and to the point at the inauguration, hoping that the Society would 'never become facile and "popular", to turn to a merely trivial gathering of persons amiably interested in the same ideal'.〔''Poetical Gazette'', No. 23, p. 454 (''Poetry Review'', I (Sept. 1912) ).〕 Her half-expressed fears were unfortunately fulfilled: the direction in which the Society was heading soon became obvious — poetry was made an excuse for pleasant social exchanges, for irrelevant snobbery, for the disagreeable consequences of organised association."〔Joy Grant (1967). ''Harold Monro and the Poetry Bookshop''. University of California Press, p. 36. ISBN 0-520-00512-0.〕
