Born on a March day, 1865 in Sunderland (England), she was the daughter of a Presbyterian minister from North-East Scotland. She is seen as a forerunner of a Scottish renaissance in inter-war poetry. Her prose writings were mainly in standard English. MARION ANGUS was a Scottish poet who wrote in the Scots vernacular. The family left Sunderland for Arbroath in 1876, when she was almost eleven. She wrote fictionalized diaries anonymously for a newspaper, but no copies have survived.
Her verses has appeared in numerous anthologies, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Voices-Their-Ain-Countrie-Volumes/dp/0948877758/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 and her most frequently anthologized poem is about Mary, Queen of Scots, “Alas, Poor Queen”, written partly in standard English. She became mentally ill in 1930, and was admitted to a Glasgow Royal Asylum. MARION ANGUS continued to publish poetry and gave lectures, but her finances deteriorated and she became subject to depression. She returned to Arbroath in 1945, where she died there on August 1946. Her ashes were scattered on the sands of Elliot Links.
