Brenda Davies

Brenda Ethel Davies (née Mathews) (born 1917) was the wife of Robertson Davies.

Born in Australia, she met Davies at Oxford University. They married in 1940. She shared the same interests in theatre as Davies.

After Davies' death in 1995, she and one of their daughters, Jennifer Surridge, became literary executors for his estate, and formed the company Pendragon Ink for this purpose. Together they have edited one volume of Davies' criticism.
