Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Leprohon, Rosanna, 1829-1879 : The Canadian novelist and poet Rosanna Leprohon was born Rosanna Eleanora Mullins in Montreal in 1829. She was educated at Notre Dame convent and early became a leading contributor (using the initials R.E.M.) to the literary periodical The Literary Garland, published by John Lovell in Montreal.

She married Jean-Lucien Leprohon in 1851 (they had thirteen children) and she published several novels during the 1860's under the name "Mrs. Leprohon". Among her best known novels were The Manor House of De Villerai (which was serialized in The Family Herald), Antoinette de Mirecourt; or secret marrying and secret sorrowing; a Canadian tale, and Armand Durand, all of which depicted French-Canadian society and which were translated into French.

Some of Leprohon's poetry was published in Selections from Canadian Poets (1864), the first collection of Canadian poetry published in Canada, and her poems were collected after her death in The Poetical Works of Mrs. Leprohon (1881).
