Augusta Guerdina Peaux (2 November 1859 – 23 February 1944) was a Dutch poet. She began her publishing career as a writer of prose fiction, in literary magazines and in one collection, and in the early 1900s started publishing poetry, in magazines associated with the literary movement known as the Tachtigers, with whom she became associated. With her sister Johanna, she translated poetry by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Charles Swinburne, and with her friend Truus, with whom she shared a love for Iceland and its literature, she translated stories from the Edda. Two volumes of her poetry were published; she never sought literary fame, though some fame came to her posthumously.

  • Augusta Guerdina Peaux (Simonshaven, 2 november 1859 – Nijmegen, 23 februari 1944) was een Nederlandse dichteres en vertaalster. Zij was van Franse afkomst (haar oudovergrootvader kwam uit Camarès, Frankrijk). Zij publiceerde de bundels Gedichten (Uitg. H.D. Tjeenk Willink & Zoon, Haarlem, 1918) en Nieuwe gedichten (1926). Als dichteres leefde zij in de schaduw van de meer bekende Tachtigers, onder wie de door haar bewonderde Hélène Swarth die haar werk apprecieerde. Peaux blonk uit in minutieuze impressionistische landschapsschilderingen waaraan zij een sombere, melancholieke ondertoon wist te geven. Hoewel een aantal van haar gedichten in bloemlezingen verschenen (onder meer Eenzaam kerkhof), heeft haar werk weinig aandacht gekregen. Peaux koos bewust voor een teruggetrokken leven. Ze ligt begraven op Rustoord in Nijmegen, graf W-0222. Haar naam staat niet op het graf. (nl)
