by Maud Ogilvy
About the author
Maud Ogilvy was a Canadian journalist, writer, and poet. A Canadian women writers reference from CWRC notes that her poetry and prose reflected her origins in Montreal, Quebec, and her work is often linked with French Canadian settings and themes.
She is best known for Marie Gourdon: A Romance of the Lower St. Lawrence, and records gathered by The Online Books Page also show later work including Eastertide: and Other Verses. Taken together, the surviving listings suggest a writer who moved between fiction and poetry while staying closely connected to Canadian literary culture.
Reliable biographical detail on her life appears to be limited online, so many personal facts are not easy to confirm. What is clear is that she left behind a body of work remembered for its regional atmosphere and for its place among early Canadian women writers.
