Fiction - Romance About the Author: Margaret Campbell Barnes Margaret Campbell Barnes (1891 - 1962) grew up in Sussex, England during the waning years of the Victorian Era. After her marriage to a furniture salesman she began to write short stories until her agents Curtis Brown Ltd. encouraged her to write historical novels, which was a very popular genre in the 1940's and 50's in which Barnes became a leading author. Between 1944 and 1962, Barnes wrote 10 historical novels, most of them best sellers and translated in several different languages. Barnes is admired as an author for her ability to accurately express her character's psyche while still maintaining a level of historical integrity to the original subject. First published in 1949, "Brief Gaudy Hour" has been most recently reprinted in March, 2008. Her other works include: "My Lady of Cleves" (which is due for re-release September 1, 2008!), "The Tudor Rose", "With All My Heart", "The King's Bed". |
