Biographical History
Attia Hosain was born into an upper-class feudal land owning family in Lucknow, India in 1913. She was educated at La Martinière School and later gained a degree at Isabella Thoburn College, one of only a few women of her background to do so and the first in her family. She married and in 1947 moved with her husband and two children to England. In England she took up broadcast journalism, joining for the BBC Eastern Service in 1949 where she worked on a variety of regional services. Hosain was also involved in a number of popular shows for women and read for several plays. While continuing to work for the BBC she also acted in the West End, and was an active part of the social scene and friend to many theatrical stars.
Hosain is best known for her writing. She first published a collection of short stories, Phoenix Fled in 1953 and then a novel, Sunlight on a Broken Column with Chatto & Windus in 1961. Both draw on experiences from her upbringing and afford insights into the society of India’s landed classes. Her work has influenced many writers of the younger generation.
Attia Hosain died 25th January 1998.
