Dame Emilie Rose Macaulay, (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.
The story is seen as a spiritual autobiography, reflecting her own changing and conflicting beliefs.
Macaulay’s novels were partly influenced by Virginia Woolf; she also wrote biographies and travelogues.
