		Yourcenar regarded the average historical novel as “merely a more or less successful costume ball.” Truly to recapture an earlier time, she said, required years of research, together with a mystical act of identification.
		Yourcenar’s main project in the nineteen-sixties was her next novel, “The Abyss.” The tone of this book is very different from that of “Hadrian.” When an interviewer raised that point with her, she asked him to consider the events intervening between the two novels.
		Yourcenar grieved horribly, and then, two months later, she was back on the road, this time with one of his friends.

		Her writings are marked by measured, aphoristic sentences; by quietly reflective characters; by restrained lyricism; by thorough research and highly literate allusions to history and culture; and by attempts to adapt classical literature to contemporary concerns.
		Yourcenar drew up a chronology in the Pleiade edition of her works, but biographer Josyane Savigneau takes exception to many dates and argues persuasively that Yourcenar forged her own persona just as she created, and then revised, her historical fictions.
		Yourcenar was born Marguerite Antoinette Jeanne Marie Ghislaine Cleenewerck de Crayencour in Brussels on June 8, 1903.

		Marguerite Yourcenar was born Marguerite de Crayencour in Brussels in 1903.
		As complex, erudite, and intriguing as her work, Yourcenar's life has resisted its own passionate reconstitution until now, in part because of the writer's deliberate elusiveness, even in her autobiographical trilogy.
		Here, in its intricate and often contradictory detail, is Marguerite Yourcenar's story, one in which loss and learning intertwined almost from the first and in which love assumed a strangely paradoxical place.
