Florence M. (Florence Marie) Grimm

Florence M. Grimm, also listed as Florence Marie Grimm, is known for Astronomical Lore in Chaucer, a study first published in 1919. The book examines how medieval astronomy and astrology appear in Chaucer’s writing and has remained available through library and public-domain editions.

An archival edition of the book identifies her as an assistant in the University of Nebraska Library, which helps place her work in an academic setting. Based on the sources available, she appears to have built her reputation primarily on this focused and lasting contribution to Chaucer studies.

Little biographical information beyond her authorship and institutional affiliation was readily confirmed, so the surviving record seems to center more on her scholarship than on her personal life.
