Elaine Feinstein (b.1930) is from Bootle, Lancashire and was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge. She has worked as an editor, a university lecturer and a journalist. From 1976 she has lived on her writing. Feinstein's early poetry bears the influence of modernists such as Pound, but it wasn't until she began translating the great Russian poet, Marina Tsvataeva, that she found her own voice. Much of her material is drawn from personal experience, though set within the wider cultural contexts of her Jewish inheritance, feminism and European history. These influences can be detected throughout her work which, as well as her ten collections of poetry, also includes fourteen novels, several acclaimed biographies, short stories and plays for radio and television. She has received a Cholmondeley Award, three Arts Council Awards and was made a Fellow of the Royal Literary Society in 1981. In 1990 she received an honorary Doctorate from the University of Leicester for services to literature.
