Feinstein, Elaine

▪ British writer and translator
née  Cooklin 
born Oct. 24, 1930, Bootle, Eng.

      British writer and translator who examined her own eastern European heritage in a number of novels and collections of poetry.

      Feinstein attended the University of Cambridge (B.A., 1952; M.A., 1955). Her first published work was a collection of poetry, In a Green Eye (1966). After translating some of the poetry of Marina Tsvetayeva (Tsvetayeva, Marina Ivanovna), she began to find her own distinct voice. Her second volume of verse, The Magic Apple Tree (1971), was preceded by a novel, The Circle (1970).

      Characters in Feinstein's work are changed and controlled by their dreams and memories. In several of her books a woman searches for identity within and outside her family. One of Feinstein's best-known novels is The Survivors (1982), a multigenerational saga of two Jewish families who flee Russia for England. Her other novels include Children of the Rose (1975), The Shadow Master (1978), and All You Need (1989). Her volumes of poetry include The Feast of Eurydice (1980), Badlands (1986), and City Music (1990).
