Rosalind Miles
Rosalind Miles is an author born and raised in
England and now living in both
Los Angeles and
Kent, England. She has written both works of
fiction and
non-fiction. As a child, Miles suffered from
polio, and had to undergo several months of treatment. After being accepted to a junior women's college, Miles acquired a working knowledge of
Latin and
Greek, along with developing her life-long love of
Shakespeare. At seventeen, she was promoted to
St. Hilda's College, Oxford where she studied English literature,
Anglo-Saxon,
Middle English, Latin and
French. She obtained five degrees in all, ending with a
Ph.D. from the
Shakespeare Institute at the
University of Birmingham.
Miles later on became interested in jurisprudence, which resulted in her sitting as a lay
magistrate in the English criminal and family courts, and eventually on the bench in a superior court in
Coventry. She is also a regular commentator on the
BBC, on
Canadian Radio, and in
The Times. Miles is married with two children.
