	ADCOCK, Fleur
		ADCOCK, Fleur (1934–), is a poet, editor and translator of medieval Latin and twentieth-century Romanian poetry.
		Adcock’s work has moved from an earlier self-concealing deployment of male narrators or characters, to a more confident use of the lyrical self, and a deliberate focus on women’s lives through various fictional voices.
		This shuttling point of view is quintessentially Adcock; the section title emphasises the divided sense of identity she inherits from both family (or historical) emigrant experience and personal expatriation.
