Virna Sheard (1862–1943) was a Canadian author and poet noted for her contribution to early 20th-century literature. Sheard, born in Cobourg, Ontario, entered the literary scene with a strong poetic sensibility and an affinity for nature and enchanting narratives. Her work often reflected her experiences and the Canadian landscape, themes that resonated with her readership. One of her notable works, 'The Ballad of the Quest', exemplifies her talent for storytelling and facility with verse. Sheard was also known for her novels, short stories, and children's literature. Throughout her career, she contributed to various magazines and anthologies, capturing the essence of her time with a gentle yet evocative voice. Her literary style intertwined the romanticism of the late Victoria era with the emergent sensibilities of modernist thought, a blend that allowed her to bridge two distinct literary movements with grace. The reach of her poetry and prose extended beyond the borders of Canada, earning her an international audience and a lasting place in the annals of Canadian literature. As a writer, Sheard's ability to conjure vivid imagery and emotional depth in her writing has made her work a subject of ongoing study in Canadian literary scholarship.
