A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Tracey S. Rosenberg grew up in the Chicago suburbs, where she learned to type on an IBM Selectric, memorised entire sections of T.S. Eliot's 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock', and cut her writing teeth on Tolkien-esque fantasy and Sherlock Holmes pastiches. After earning a B.A. in English literature at the University of California at Berkeley, she spent several years bouncing back and forth between the USA and Europe; this included being a student and a temp in Ireland, a visiting postgraduate student at Brasenose College, Oxford, and a Fulbright scholar in Romania. She moved to Scotland to do a PhD at the University of Edinburgh, writing on the late-Victorian New Woman writer Mona Caird; the National Library of Scotland became her home for many years. She now has dual American and British citizenship and lives permanently in Scotland. Her literary work includes peer-reviewed articles on Caird and George Eliot, an entry on Caird in the "Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women" (Edinburgh University Press, 2007), and a critical edition of Caird s 1889 novel "The Wing of Azrael" (Valancourt Books, 2010). She's published poetry in many journals and anthologies, including "The Frogmore Papers", "Chapman", "Anon", "Starry Night", "The Journal of the American Medical Association", and two volumes of "New Writing Scotland". In 2010 she won a New Writers Award from the Scottish Book Trust for a poetry collection tentatively titled "Secondary".
