Notes for Marie HANSEN

---

Marie Hansen, b. in Gotha, Germany, 2 June, 1829, is the daughter of the late Prof. Peter A. Hansen, founder of the Erfurt observatory. She zealously promoted her husband's literary career, and translated into German his "Greece" (Leipsic, 1858) ; "Hannah Thurston" (Hamburg, 1863); " Story of Kennett" (Gotha, 1868) ; "Tales of Home" (Berlin, 1879) ; "Studies in German Literature" (Leipsic, 1880); and notes to "Faust," both parts (Leipsic, 1881). After her husband's death she edited, with notes, his "Dramatic Works" (1880), and in the same year his "Poems" in a "Household Edition," and brought together his "Critical Essays and Literary Notes." In 1885 she prepared a school edition of "Lars," with notes and a sketch of its author's life. After six years' labor in collecting and arranging the poet's extensive private correspondence, she completed, with Horace E. Scudder, the "Life and Letters of Bayard Taylor" (2 vols., Boston, 1884).
