About the author

Born in Darmstadt in 1873, she was the daughter of Wilhelm Langenbach and later became known as Terese Robinson, with records also linking her to the name Therese Robinsohn. Catalog and reference entries identify her as a German writer and translator, and place her death in Malmö in 1945.

Her reputation rests largely on translation. Archival and library sources connect her with German translations of Charles Baudelaire, Shakespeare, and Paul Verlaine, suggesting a translator drawn to lyrical, demanding voices rather than easy choices.

She also published creative work under the alias Karin Delmar. That mix of original writing and ambitious translation makes her an interesting figure for readers who enjoy authors working between languages, styles, and identities.
