Rosa Mackenzie Kettle (1818 – 14 March 1895) was an English novelist and poet.
She was born Mary Rosa Stuart Kettle in 1818 in Overseal, Leicestershire, the daughter of John Kettle. She adopted the name of Mackenzie from her mother's maiden name.[1][2][3] Kettle was the granddaughter of Kenneth Mackenzie, 8th of Redcastle (1748-1789) and wrote a fictionalized account of his life.[4]
Kettle lived in Parkstone, Poole, Dorset from about 1863 to 1884 and the region influenced her novels.[2] She wrote poetry and often added her verse as epigraphs in her novels. [3]
Rosa Mackenzie Kettle died on 14 March 1895 in Callander, Perthshire.[2]
