Ann Margareta Maria Henning was born in Gothenburg in 1948. She was raised in Dalsland, on the Norwegian border, and Molndal, outside Gothenburg. While in school she discovered that her love of literature got her bullied, but her ability to write plays which entertained her classmates ensured that even her worst bully was more interested in her next work.[1]
She went on to attend Gothenburg University in 1968, where she got a degree in classical architecture and drama. On graduation she got a job there as a junior lecturer in art history. But Jocelyn decided she didn't want to settle down and went to London to study theatre at Studio 68. When she left school there Jocelyn got a position in the Open Space Theatre in London, working with Charles Marowitz.
When getting a permit to work in London proved to be more difficult than she had hoped, Jocelyn began to work translating plays and novels, adding a degree in English to her skills. She worked with Ingrid Bergman on translating her novel into Swedish.[2][3][4][5]
In 1982, Jocelyn moved to her current home of Doonreagan House in Connemara. The owner of the house, Robert Jocelyn, 10th Earl of Roden, had lent it to her to work on a book. They married on 13 February 1986, and have a son, Shane Robert Henning Jocelyn, Viscount Jocelyn, heir to the title Earl of Roden. As a result of her husband's title, Jocelyn is Countess of Roden.
When they discovered that Ted Hughes had lived in the house she ended up working on her play Doonreagan, about the period when Ted Hughes and his partner Assia Wevill lived there.[1][3][6][7]
