Mary Montgomerie, Lady Currie, known by the literary pseudonym Violet Fane, was an English poet, writer, and later an ambassadress.
Active in the British literary scene from 1872 until her death in 1905, Fane was a literary celebrity associated with Aestheticism, Medievalism, whose verses were set to music by composers such as Paolo Tosti and Hermine Küchenmeister-Rudersdorf.
As a well-known figure in London society, Fane's coterie included famous literary personas such as Robert Browning, Algernon Swinburne, A.
W. Kinglake, Alfred Austin, James McNeil Whistler, Lillie Langtry, and Oscar Wilde, who praised the oracular bent of Fane's opinions on 'the relation of art to nature' by saying that she ‘live[d] between Parnassus and Piccadilly’.
