History
Catherine Roxburgh Carswell (née Macfarlane) was a Scottish author, biographer and journalist, now known as one of the few women who took part in the Scottish Renaissance. Her biography of Scotland's literary hero Robert Burns aroused controversy, but two earlier novels of hers, set in Edwardian Glasgow, were little noticed until their republication by feminist publishing house Virago in 1987. Her work is now seen as integral to Scottish women's writing of the early 20th century.
