Danske Dandridge (November 19, 1854 – June 3, 1914) was a Danish-born American poet, historian, and garden writer.
Along with her contemporaries, Waitman T.
Barbe and Thomas Dunn English, Dandridge was considered a major poet of late 19th-century West Virginia.By marriage, Dandridge secured not only the sympathy, encouragement and criticism she needed, but alliteration of name.
She had scribbled verses since she was a child of eight.
But the morbid, sensitive child had not attempted ambitious verse, nor did she as a grown woman till she had been married some years.
Her works were Joy and Other Poems, Twilight in the Woods, The Lover in the Woods, Rose Brake, and miscellaneous contributions to the periodicals.
