FAMOUS BRITISH AUTHORS
REBECCA WEST
Dame Cicely Isabel Fairfield DBE (21 December 1892  15 March 1983), known as Rebecca
West, or Dame Rebecca West, was a British author, journalist, literary critic and travel writer. An
author who wrote in many genres, West reviewed books for The Times, the New York Herald
Tribune, the Sunday Telegraph, and the New Republic, and she was a correspondent for The
Bookman. Her major works include Black Lamb and Grey Falcon (1941), on the history and
culture of Yugoslavia; A Train of Powder (1955), her coverage of the Nuremberg trials, published
originally in The New Yorker; The Meaning of Treason, later The New Meaning of Treason, a
study of the trial of the British Fascist William Joyce and others; The Return of the Soldier, a
modernist World War I novel; and the "Aubrey trilogy" of autobiographical novels, The Fountain
Overflows, This Real Night, and Cousin Rosamund. Time called her "indisputably the world's
number one woman writer" in 1947. She was made CBE in 1949, and DBE in 1959, in each case,
the citation reads: "writer and literary critic". She took the pseudonym "Rebecca West" from the
rebellious young heroine in Rosmersholm by Henrik Ibsen.
