About the author
Dame Rebecca West (1892–1983) was a British writer, journalist, literary critic and travel writer, born Cecily Isabel Fairfield and later known by the surname Andrews. Born in London, she was active in the women's suffrage movement, and her pen name was taken from a character in Ibsen's Rosmersholm. Her work spans fiction, critical biography and reportage: the early novels The Return of the Soldier (1918) and The Judge (1922) examine personal emotion and social change with delicate psychological insight, while her critical study Henry James (1916) shows her sharp literary judgment. She later became known for reporting on the Nuremberg trials and wrote Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1941). She was made a DBE in 1959. Three of her works are held in this catalogue; public information is limited, but her writing combines a journalist's observation with a novelist's psychological depth.
