Mary von Schrader Jarrell (May 2, 1914 - July 30, 2007) was a patron of the arts and memoirist. She was the widow of Randall Jarrell and worked consistently to memorialize his impact not only on herself but on the very world of American Poetry. ==Biography== Mary von Schrader Jarrell was born Mary Eloise von Schrader on May 2, 1914 in St. Louis, Missouri to parents Colonel Alleyne von Schrader and Irene McNeal Bond. By 1930, von Schrader was living with her parents in Long Beach of Los Angeles, California (Haven). She was a Montessori alumni and a graduate of Stanford where she reported that she studied as a philosophy major and English minor. 〔"(Mary Eloise von Schrader )."

In July 1951 Mary Eloise (von Schrader) Garton became divorced from William Garton Jr. 〔"Mary von Schrader Jarrell." (Obituary ). ''News and Record'' (Greensboro), August 12, 2007. Retrieved 2012-04-21 〕 Quickly after this, Mary von Schrader met and fell in love with Randall Jarrell. The two were married by November of 1952. 〔 Randall Jarrell and Mary von Schrader met at a three-week writer’s conference at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where Randall Jarrell was already considered an established poet-critic and Mary was exploring her art.〔Haven, Cynthia (2000) ("Writer, Interrupted: In her 80s, Mary Jarrell Gets a Second Wind" ). ''Stanford Magazine''. Retrieved 22 Apr. 2012.〕 Mary Jarrell stated that for the two of them it was love at first sight, and that he soon gave her the manuscript for ''Seven League Crutches'' which was still in long script. They spent time together reviewing, drinking, and talking. They came to call themselves, as they would for the rest of their time together, a “group of two” (Jarrell, M., ''Remembering''). They moved around the country some in accordance with the various teaching jobs and positions of Randall Jarrell until finally settling down in Greensboro, North Carolina where Jarrell held his final position at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (Burt). There, they remained together, with the exception of Randall Jarrell’s hospital stays, until the shocking and sudden death of Randall Jarrell in 1965 when he was struck by a car (Jarrell, M. ''Remembering''). Mary von S. Jarrell did not marry again. She worked on her own writing and memorializing her second husband’s work. 〔 At the age of 93, Mary von Schrader Jarrell died July 30, 2007 at the Well-Springs Retirement Community. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary von Schrader Jarrell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
