Summary
Aristocrat, novelist, essayist, traveller, and lover of Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West lived a fascinating and daring life at the center of the Bloomsbury circle. She wrote in an astounding variety of genres, including travel narrative, poetry, fiction, and essays, and is probably best known for her novels, The Edwardians and All Passion Spent, and for her incomparable writings about English country gardens. Here, for the first time, is an anthology which truly represents the expanse of her interests and styles. Over half of the works including intimate diaries and a dream notebook, have never been published. Edited by a foremost expert on the Bloomsbury circle, Vita Sackville-West: Selected Writings provides the best and most accessible introduction to this unique writer.
