About the author
Kathleen Rebillon Lambley, also listed as Kathleen Annie Lila Lambley, was a British translator, university lecturer, and scholar of French studies. Records on Wikisource and Wikidata identify her as a Romanticist who later used the name Kathleen Rebillon Lambley.
She is chiefly known for The Teaching and Cultivation of the French Language in England during Tudor and Stuart Times (1920), a substantial historical study that traces how French was learned and taught in earlier England. The book began during her tenure of a Faulkner Fellowship at the University of Manchester, which helps place her work in an academic setting as well as a literary one.
Catalog records also show that she translated and edited French writing for English-language readers, including a collection of French short stories published in the 1930s. Reliable biographical details about her life appear to be limited online, but the surviving record suggests a writer and teacher deeply engaged with French language, translation, and literary history.
