Paula Byrne, Lady Bate, (born 1967), is a British author and biographer who wrote Perdita: The Life of Mary Robinson and Mad World: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead. Her debut book was the study of Jane Austen, Jane Austen and the Theatre, which was published in 2002 by Hambledon, shortlisted for the Theatre Book Prize and later reissued by Bloomsbury. Byrne comes from a large working-class family in Birkenhead, studied at the University of Chichester, and has a PhD from the University of Liverpool.
In 2005 her biography Perdita: The Life of Mary Robinson was featured on the Richard & Judy Book Club on Channel 4, propelling it into the Sunday Times bestseller list. It was long listed for the Samuel Johnson Prize and contributed to a revival of interest in Robinson's work.
Her book Mad World: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead was published by HarperPress in the UK in August 2009 and HarperCollins New York in the USA in April 2010. An excerpt was published in the Sunday Times of August 9 under the headline Sex scandal behind Brideshead Revisited. An illustrated extract appeared in the April 2010 issue of Vanity Fair in advance of American publication. The book's sympathetic view of Waugh's character contrasted with the popular image of him.
"There are a lot of dancers down there. They just haven't found each other. Sometimes it takes a person like myself to just come down and light the fire."
"It can be misleading because people think meditation is slow. And this can be sweaty. People get a good workout."
