Jacqueline de Weever (born 1932[1]) is a Guyanese-born literary scholar and poet.
She gained her PhD at the University of Pennsylvania in 1971, with a thesis entitled 'A Biographical Dictionary of Proper Names in Chaucer'.
Sheba's Daughters (1998) combined "the concepts of medieval rhetorical treatises with the perspectives of post-colonial criticism",[5] to examine how Saracen women were portrayed in medieval French epic poetry of the 12th and 13th centuries.
De Weever has also written poetry, which has appeared in Blue Unicorn, The Homestead Review, Iodine, Tiger's Eye, and Vanitas.
[6] A 2019 poetry collection, Trailing the Sun's Sweat, was written in response to Cecil Jane's translation of The Journal of Christopher Columbus.
