Dame Emilie Rose Macaulay , DBE (1 August 1881 - 30 October 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.
Later novels include 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)..
Macaulay began writing her first novel, Abbots Verney (published 1906), after leaving Somerville and while living with her parents at Ty Isaf, near Aberystwyth, in Wales.
Macaulay\'s novels were partly influenced by Virginia Woolf; she also wrote biographies and travelogues.
The story is seen as a spiritual autobiography, reflecting her own changing and conflicting beliefs.
