Autorenporträt
Dame Emilie Rose Macaulay, DBE was an English author who was born on August 1, 1881, and died on October 30, 1958. She was best known for her award-winning book The Towers of Trebizond, which is about a small group of Anglo-Catholics who cross Turkey by camel. People see the story as a spiritual autobiography because it shows how her views changed and sometimes clashed. Virginia Woolf had an effect on some of Macaulay's stories. She also wrote biographies, travel books, and poetry. Macaulay was born in Rugby, Warwickshire. Her father was a classical scholar named George Campbell Macaulay, and his wife was a woman named Grace Mary Coughlin. Her father came straight from the Macaulay family of Lewis through the male line. After going to Oxford High School for Girls, she went to Somerville College at Oxford University to study Modern History. After leaving Somerville, Macaulay started writing her first book, Abbots Verney, which came out in 1906. She did this while living with her parents at Ty Isaf, near Aberystwyth in Wales. The Lee Shore (1912), Potterism (1920), Dangerous Ages (1921), Told by an Idiot (1923), And No Man's Wit (1940), The World My Wilderness (1950), and The Towers of Trebizond (1956) are some of his later books.
