+Jeannette(Augustus) Marks+--novelist, dramatist.
Born at Chattanooga, Tennessee, 1875. A.B., Wellesley, 1900; A.M., 1903.
Studied in England. Associate professor of English literature at Mt.
Holyoke, 1901-10, and lecturer since 1913, where she introduced Poetry
Shop Talks by writers to students. Her most interesting work has been
based upon Welsh material, which she obtained by walking several summers
with a knapsack in Wales. In 1911, two of Miss Marks's one-act Welsh
plays (_The Merry, Merry Cuckoo_, and _Welsh Honeymoon_) were given first
prize in the Welsh National Theatre competition, notwithstanding the fact
that the prize was offered for a three-act play.
