Nora Chesson

She won for herself a distinct celebrity as a contributor to most of the English periodicals and newspapers of her time.

She was a participant in the Irish literary movement of the 1890s, having some influence on W. B. Yeats in particular with her Ballads in Prose (1894).

Her career as an author of poetry and prose began in 1887 when she was not quite seventeen years of age.

[1] She provided the English translation to Thadgh O'Donoghue's libretto for the Irish opera Muirgheis (1903) by Thomas O'Brien Butler (1861–1915).

[2][3] Five volumes of her selected poems were published that year by Alston Rivers, of London,[1] which included a short biographical note by the editor, her husband, and an introductory appreciation by Ford Madox Hueffer.
