Pauline von Hügel (1858 - 1901)

Baroness Pauline Marie Marguerite Isabelle von Hügel (3 November 1858 – 29 March 1901) was an Italian-born Austrian aristocrat and a British religious writer, named after Pauline von Metternich. Born into a life of courtly opulence and high society, Hügel chose to live a charitable and pious life, becoming a benefactress and regarded as the founder of Corpus Christi Church in Boscombe, England. In 1900, bedridden with a long-suffering illness, she continued to write until her death in March 1901, aged 42. Some of her works were published posthumously.
