Dame Rose Tremain DBE FRSL is an English novelist, short story writer, and former Chancellor of the University of East Anglia.
She is a historical novelist who approaches her subjects “from unexpected angles, concentrating her attention on unglamorous outsiders”.
In 2009, she donated the short story The Jester of Astapovo to Oxfam’s “Ox-Tales” project, four collections of UK stories written by 38 authors. Her story was published in the “Earth” collection.
She became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1983. Already Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE), Tremain was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2020 New Year Honours for services to writing.
