Elected: 1974
Rosalind K. Marshall became a Fellow following the publication in 1973 of her first best-selling book, The Days of Duchess Anne, based on her Edinburgh University Ph.D. thesis. Her continuing publications, which include a well-received biography of John Knox, discuss the place of women in Scottish society.
Fellows are nominated by peers and elected by our Council of writers – our governing Board. Being elected a Fellow of the RSL is a lifetime honour. This role gives them the opportunity to support other writers, readers and the future of literature. The RSL connects writers in the Fellowship to one another, and to a wider readership.
