简介

利奥诺拉·斯贝耶(Leonora Speyer,1872—1956),一个18岁的小提琴家,随波士顿交响乐团首次登台,想不到31年后她会出版她的第一部诗集,又过5年她会因为她的第二本书被授予普利策奖。

年轻的小提琴家有一个新英格兰血统的妈妈,她的父亲费迪南德·冯·斯托施伯爵,一个成为美国公民、并且在内战中为联盟打仗的普鲁士贵族。早期她跟纽约爱乐乐团及其他伟大的交响乐团一起演奏。她结了婚,有4个孩子,由于一份好合同旅居国外。埃德加·斯贝耶先生,她的第二任丈夫,1902年与她结婚,曾支持大量现代欧洲音乐到英国,并出版过一部济慈诗歌的德译本。然而,他的妻子,直到她44岁都没有开始写作。此后,她出版了4本诗集,并因她的文学作品赢得许多奖项。它们组成一份令人钦佩的清单:捉迷藏奖、国家奖、美国诗歌协会奖、芝加哥诗歌奖,以及普利策奖。她是受到美国诗歌协会主席嘉奖的第一位妇女,她是美国大学优等生荣誉学会会员。她生活在纽约,到处演讲音乐和朗诵诗歌。

她的作品有:《卡诺卜坛》(1921),《提琴手的告别》(1926,被授予1927年普利策奖),《裸露的脚跟》(1931),和《减速墙》(1939)。

  Life
  Leonora Speyer and her husband Sir Edgar Speyer, circa 1921
  She was born in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Count Ferdinand von Stosch of Mantze in Silesia, who fought for the Union, and Julia Schayer, who was a writer.
  
  She studied music in Brussels, Paris, and Leipzig, and played the violin professionally under the batons of Arthur Nikisch and Anton Seidl, among others. She first married Louis Meredith Howland in 1894,[3] but they divorced in Paris in 1902.[4] She then married banker Edgar Speyer (later Sir Edgar), of London, where the couple lived until 1915.[5]
  
  Sir Edgar had German ancestry and following anti-German attacks on him that year,[5] they moved to the United States and took up residence in New York, where Speyer began writing poetry. She won the 1927 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for her book of poetry Fiddler's Farewell.[6]
  
  She had four daughters: Enid Howland with her first husband and Pamela, Leonora, and Vivien Claire Speyer with her second husband.[4][5]
