Professor Phyllis Auty

Article Abstract:

Historian Phyllis Auty gained a BA in History from St Hilda's College, Oxford, England, in 1931. She was an aspiring medievalist, but switched to modern history after taking her BLitt in 1934. She travelled extensively in central and south-eastern Europe before the second world war, and this made her a valuable source of information during the war. She worked first for the BBC, then for the Foreign Office's Political Intelligence Dept and finally for the War Office. She lectured at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at Oxford University, England, between 1947 and 1969.
