Rose Dame MacaulayDame Emilie Rose Macaulay (1881 - 1958) was an English writer, most noted for her award-winning novel The Towers of Trebizond, about a small Anglo-Catholic group crossing Turkey by camel. The story is seen as a spiritual autobiography, reflecting herown changing and conflicting beliefs. Macaulay's novels were partly-influenced by Virginia Woolf; she also wrote biographies and travelogues. The Towers of Trebizond, her final novel, is generally regarded as her masterpiece. Strongly autobiographical, it treats with wistful humor and deep sadness the attractions of mystical Christianity and the irremediable conflict between adulterous love and the demands of the Christian faith. For this work, she received the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1956. Read More Read Less
