Maud Alice Burke (3 August 1872 – 10 July 1948), later Lady Cunard, known as Emerald, was an American-born, London-based society hostess. She had long relationships with the novelist George Moore and the conductor Thomas Beecham, and was the muse of the former and a champion of and fund-raiser for the latter. She was a supporter of Wallis Simpson during the British abdication crisis of 1936, vainly hoping for a court appointment. The Second World War ended her era of private patronage and lavish hospitality.

  • Maud Alice Burke, née le 3 août 1872 à San Francisco, morte le 10 juillet 1948, devenue Lady Cunard, puis Emerald Cunard, est l’animatrice d’un cénacle artistique et une mécène londonienne, avant la Première Guerre mondiale puis dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Elle incarne la fin de l’époque victorienne, et la société aisée anglaise de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Elle a de longues relations avec le romancier George Moore et avec le chef d'orchestre Thomas Beecham. Elle est également une des partisanes de sa compatriote Wallis Simpson avant et pendant la crise d'abdication d'Édouard VIII. La Seconde Guerre mondiale met fin à cette ère des salons artistiques privés et des réceptions somptueuses. Le parcours de sa fille Nancy Cunard symbolise également une rupture avec cette période.
