Eugnie De GurinEugnie de Gurin (1805 - May 31, 1848), French writer, was the sister of the poet Maurice de Gurin. Her Journals (1861, Eng. trans., 1865) and her Lettres (1864, Eng. trans., 1865) indicated the possession of gifts of as rare an order as those of her brother, though of a somewhat different kind. In her case mysticism assumed a form more strictly religious, and she continued to mourn her brothers loss of his early Catholic faith. Five years older than he, she cherished a love for him which was blended with a somewhat motherly anxiety. After his death she began the collection and publication of the scattered fragments of his writings. She died, however, before her task was completed. See Sainte-Beuve, Causeries du lundi (vol. xii.) and Nouveaux Lundis (vol. iii.); G Merlet, Causeries sur les femmes et les hIres (Paris, 1865); Selden, L'Esprit des femmes de notre temps (Paris, 1864); Marelle, Eugnie et Maurice de Gurin (Berlin, 1869); Harriet Parr, M. and E. de Gurin, a monograph (London, 1870); and Matthew Arnold's essays on Maurice and Eugnie de Gurin, in his Essays in Criticism.
