Explaining to people that one of the most formative influences on my style as a writer was Rosemary Sutcliff always feels like an exercise in futility because no one ever knows who she is :')

#rosemary sutcliff #rain rambles #she was a disabled english writer #from the 1900s #born in 1920 and died 1992 #who wrote primarily historical fiction #mostly based around preroman/roman/post roman britain #but has some other things as well #her most well known work is eagle of the ninth #because they made a channing tatum movie out of it #but i cannot stress enough how inadequately that movie tells the stories she told #living with disability #cross cultural friendships #cross cultural UNDERSTANDING #individual vs cultural conflict #she also wrote two different versions of arthuriana #one with a more fantasy twist #and one as part of her loose historical fiction series #sword at sunset is one of her only books strictly for adult readers #she was my introduction to king arthur #when i read sword in the circle when i was like eight
