St. Thérèse of Lisieux

The English verse translation of Thérèse’s poems by S. L. Emery (Angel Guardian Press, Boston, 1907), made from the 1898 texts as Mother Agnes retouched them: thirty-seven poems and plays in five parts, from “My Song of To-Day” and “To Live of Love” to “Why I Love Thee, Mary”, the Christmas and Egypt plays, and the Joan of Arc plays. It does not follow the numbering of the authentic Centenary poems, so it stands as a separate book beside them.

Source: The poems and plays of the five parts, one chapter each. Left out: the translator's title page, dedication, contents, the index of dates, her introduction and the scripture index. The Scripture references printed under epigraphs are kept in italics. Speaker names in the plays are headings.
