I'm doing a bit of preliminary research into
lifes, deaths and copyrights, and I'm hoping
that some of you out there may be able to
help track down some information that I'm having
trouble finding. Any assistance much appreciated!
I'm tracing a set of authors who were featured
in the book "Canadian Poets", ed. John Garvin, 1916.
About half of the poets featured were women, and
I've been able to track down birth&death info for
most of them. However, for some, I still can't
determine death, which in turn determines whether
their work is in the public domain in Canada (the whole
book is in the public domain in the US.)
The hard-to-trace women authors are:
Miss Helena Coleman (used pseud. before 1906 - what was it?)
published "Songs and Sonnets" (1906)
Miss Helen M. Merrill
Miss Annie Campbell Huestis
Mrs. Marian Osborne (nee Marian Francis, nee Mrs. Charles Lambert Bath)
published "Poems" (1914) in Britain
Miss Grace Blackburn (pseud. 'Fanfan')
Miss Gertrude Bartlett (aka Mrs. John W. C. Taylor)
Miss Norah Mary Holland
Miss Laura Elizabeth McCully
published "Mary Magdalene and Other Poems" (1914)
Mrs. Beatrice Redpath (nee Beatrice Peterson)
published "Drawn Shutters" (1914)
Anyone out there who can send me info will be
delightedly thanked. Also, if anyone is really excited about
lost Canadian authors, male or female, and would like to
help work on this book, please contact me! I'm primarily
interested in putting up the female writers listed, but
it seems a shame to put only half the book on-line! So if
someone would like to 'adopt' a particular author and
prepare the information related to them, let me know!
The first few women authors are on-line already at
