Rose Allatini

Rose Allatini (1890-1980) was born in Vienna to an Italian-Jewish businessman/diplomat and an Austro-Polish mother. Brought up in London, she studied music and wrote three well-received romantic novels before her best-known work, Despised and Rejected, was published in May 1918 under the pseudonym A.T. Fitzroy. 800 copies were sold before the book was deemed 'morally unhealthy and most pernicious' and the publisher CW Daniel, a pacifist and Tolstoyan, was put on trial, fined and ordered to surrender the remaining 200.

In 1921 Rose Allatini married the composer Cyril Scott, a fellow Occultist, and for the next few years worked closely with him and had two children in 1923 and 1926. In the 1930s she published short stoires as Mrs Cyril Scott a

Kenneth Martin

Kenneth Martin was born in Belfast in 1939. He grew up in Bangor, Co. Down, where he was adopted into a poor family. He began work on his first novel, Aubade, at the age of sixteen, and when it was accepted for publication by Chapman and Hall with an advance of £100, he moved to London. Aubade, published the day after Martin turned eighteen in 1957, was a modest success, selling well enough to run into a second printing in 1958 and was also published in America. Martin followed his debut with two more novels, Waiting for the Sky to Fall (1959) and A Matter of Time (1960), but the reviews of these novels were largely disappointing, and Martin turned from fiction to journalism.

Henry Blake Fuller

Henry Blake Fuller (January 9, 1857–July 28, 1929) was a United States novelist and short story writer, born in Chicago, Illinois.

Fuller's earliest works were travel romances set in Italy that featured allegorical characters. Both The Chevalier of Pensieri–Vani (1890) and The Châtelaine of La Trinité (1892) bear some thematic resemblance to the works of Henry James, whose primary interest was in the contrast between American and European ways of life. Fuller's first two books appealed to the genteel tastes of cultivated New Englanders such as Charles Eliot Norton and James Russell Lowell, who took Fuller's work as a promising sign of a burgeoning literary culture in what was then still largely the frontier city of Chicago.

Mary Renault

Mary Renault was an English writer best known for her historical novels set in Ancient Greece. In addition to vivid fictional portrayals of Theseus, Socrates, Plato and Alexander the Great, she wrote a non-fiction biography of Alexander.

Her historical novels are all set in ancient Greece. They include a pair of novels about the mythological hero Theseus and a trilogy about the career of Alexander the Great. In a sense, The Charioteer (1953), the story of two young gay servicemen in the 1940s who try to model their relationship on the ideals expressed in Plato's Phaedrus and Symposium, is a warm-up for Renault's historical novels.
