Rosemary Hill – Year of election 2009
Rosemary Hill’s study of Pugin, God’s Architect (2006), was recognized as one of the best biographies to appear in recent years. It won the James Tait Black Biography Prize and the Marsh Biography Prize. A trustee of the Victorian Society, Hill specializes in 19th and 20th century cultural history and architecture and has also published The Building of Romantic Britain (2007). She now writes regularly for the London Review of Books. She started her career at Quarto, where she remembers the editor Craig Raine holding her first piece of copy at arm's length and saying “the thing is, it's boring.” “It was,” she says. “I persisted however and have worked my way into a hinterland between literary journalism and history, trying to produce criticism that is historically literate and history that is reasonably well written, and not boring.”
