Short biography
The Anglo-Irish author Elizabeth Bowen was born in Dublin and later moved to England. After some time at art school in London, she decided that her talent lay in writing. She mixed with the Bloomsbury group, becoming good friends with Rose Macaulay, who helped her find a publisher for her first book, Encounters (1923). During World War II she worked for the British Ministry of Information, reporting on Irish opinion, particularly on the issue of Irish neutrality.
