Alethea Hayter
Alethea Catharine Hayter OBE FRSL (7 November 1911 – 10 January 2006) was an English author and British Council Representative.
==Family and early life==
Hayter was the daughter of Sir William Goodenough Hayter, a legal adviser to the Egyptian government, and his wife, Alethea Slessor, daughter of a Hampshire rector. Her brother, another Sir William Goodenough Hayter, went on to become British ambassador to the Soviet Union and Warden of New College, Oxford, while her sister Priscilla Napier was a biographer.〔Harvey-Wood, Harriet, ''(Aletha Hayter )'', obituary in ''The Guardian'' dated January 13, 2006, accessed July 2008〕〔(Alethea Hayter, Adventurous biographer of poets, best known for her study 'Opium and the Romantic Imagination' ), obituary in ''The Times'' at timesonline.co.uk, accessed 7 August 2008〕
Hayter spent her early years in Cairo, Egypt, in the years before the First World War, where the three Hayter children were well taught by a governess. The children’s lives changed dramatically when their father died, still in his fifties, and they returned to England in reduced circumstances. Alethea Hayter was only twelve years old. Her sister Priscilla later described their happy childhood in Cairo in her memoir ''A Late Beginner'' (1966). The three all won scholarships for their higher education.〔 Hayter was educated at Downe House School, in Berkshire, then under the headship of its founder Olive Willis, and at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, where she arrived in 1929 and went on to graduate BA in modern history.〔 Of her time at Oxford, Hayter later wrote "We were conventional and innocent, though we considered ourselves pioneering and revolutionary — not in politics, we were not much interested in them, but in our preferences in literature, the arts, social values... In our Oxford days, none of us could have boiled a potato, let alone made a soufflé, or would have known an azalea from a stinging nettle."〔
She never married.〔 She is buried in the churchyard of St Swithun's, Headbourne Worthy.
