Rosa Harriet Newmarch (1857–1940) was an eminent British music critic, writer, and poet, renowned for her expertise on Russian music and culture. Born in London to John Dixon Turner and Rose Janet Newmarch, she was a pivotal figure in introducing Russian classical music to English-speaking audiences at the beginning of the 20th century. Her seminal work, 'The Russian Opera' (1914), is a comprehensive exploration of the subject, offering in-depth analysis of Russian operatic traditions from the works of Glinka to Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky. Newmarch's writing is characterized by meticulous research and an engaging narrative style, capturing the essence of Russian artistic sensibilities and placing them within a broader European context. Besides her contributions to music literature, she also translated Russian poetry and corresponded with prominent composers of her day. Her other notable works include 'The Life of Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky' (1900), which she wrote with the cooperation of the composer's brother, Modest Tchaikovsky, and 'Poetry and Progress in Russia' (1907), reflecting her deep engagement with Russian art and society. Newmarch's literary output has been influential in creating a deeper appreciation of Russian cultural achievements in the West and remains an important resource for scholars of music history.
