Shirley du Boulay
Shirley du Boulay is an author and biographer, resident in Oxford.
Educated at Downe House School and the Royal College of Music, she embarked on a career with the BBC in 1954, initially as a studio manager, becoming a programme producer of Radio 4's 'Woman's Hour', latterly specializing in religious programming.
She resigned from the BBC in 1978, and started to work as an author.[1] Her biographical subjects tend to be individuals who have taken a spiritual journey of their own, and whose subsequent influence has been important.
She was married to the former Jesuit priest and later senior academic, John Harriott; the Roman archaeologist Andrew Wallace-Hadrill is her nephew.
