Emma Tennant

ET wrote and published in many genres between 1973 and the second decade of the twenty-first century, and often blended one genre with another. At first a novelist (who later became a specialist in the creative revisiting of works by earlier writers, and later in sequels to Jane Austen and others), she founded and edited a literary magazine, and also published children's books, works on travel, rag rugs, and cookery, and impressionistic biography. She was best known for feminist satirical novels, and for her fictionalized memoirs of her family.
