Alice Meynell fu una scrittrice, editrice e critica inglese, la cui opera poetica è caratterizzata da un'eccezionale raffinatezza culturale e da una peculiare sobrietà di stile. La sua prima raccolta di poesie attirò l'attenzione di importanti figure letterarie, sebbene ricevesse poca notorietà pubblica. Dopo la sua conversione al cattolicesimo, la sua scrittura si orientò verso temi religiosi, portando a una collaborazione con l'editore Wilfrid Meynell, con cui lavorò a stretto contatto su diverse riviste. Meynell si impegnò anche nel movimento per il suffragio femminile, e i suoi saggi in prosa furono celebrati per la loro distintiva e colta voce.
