Clara Noble

9 Bizcocheros Street, in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, as the daughter of Ernst Noble Barber, an English insurance broker who was visiting southern Spain on business when he met his future wife, María de las Angustias Malvido Nocedo, an Andalusian lady from Jerez.

[2] Like most daughters of wealthy families of the time, Noble had an important cultural training, typical of the academies for young ladies that existed in the city and which also included "decorative" subjects, such as music (she played the piano) and the French and English languages, which she mastered both, the latter because of her father.

[7] Willie Noble Malvido (1874–1895), Clara's sickly brother who died at just 21 years old, is the protagonist of a fairly well-known poem by Maragall, En la mort d'un jove (In the death of a young man).

[7] After the death of her husband in December 1911, Clara successfully took charge of carrying out the edition of the Obres Completes de Maragall, which was published in 1912 by Gustau Gili, thus tying up his legacy: letters, documents, articles, a whole collection of material that had been kept for many years in the office on the ground floor of the tower and that would be the core of the future Joan Maragall Archive, later deposited in the Library of Catalonia.

[7] Noble died on 26 April 1944, in Carrer Alfons XII, number 79 in Barcelona, in the family house in Sant Gervasi, which is currently the headquarters of the Archive Joan Maragall.
