Violet Mary Beauclerk, coniugata Clifton (Roma, 2 novembre 1883 – Lytham St Annes, 20 novembre 1961) è stata una scrittrice britannica.

Biografia

Discendente di Charles Beauclerk, I duca di St. Albans (figlio illegittimo di Carlo II d'Inghilterra e Nell Gwyn), sposò l'esploratore John Talbot Clifton a Londra nel 1908.

Rimasta vedova nel 1928, scrisse una biografia del marito, The Book of Talbot, che le valse il plauso di W.H. Auden^[1] e la vittoria del James Tait Black Memorial Prize nel 1933.^[2] Nel 1935 il critico letterario Nevill Coghill l'avrebbe candidata al Premio Nobel per la letteratura. ^[3]

Morì nella tenuta della famiglia del marito a Lyntham St Annes nel 1961 all'età di settantotto anni.^[4]
