Sybil Goulding

Sybil Maud Goulding (fl. 1914–1931) was a British literary critic and academic. The daughter of a bank manager, she was a childhood friend of writer Winifred Holtby and wrote and performed plays with her. After being educated at Bridlington High School, she entered Somerville College, Oxford, to study French in 1914. She received first class honours and was one of the first women to be admitted to degrees at Oxford when they were awarded in 1920. She gained her MA in Paris. She worked as a registry assistant at the League of Nations in 1919.

Goulding specialised in the French reception of English literature: her most notable work was ''Swift en France'' (1924). She was later a fellow at St Hugh’s College, Oxford. Provided by Wikipedia
