I read the original version of this book years ago and found Ottoline a most fascinating character. She knew everyone who was anyone and helped many artists, poets, writers find their feet and made it possible for them to produce and become who they became. She financed many and supported others. She was caricatured in books and painting and poetry by those she had helped and figured hugely in many books that went on to become best sellers. Many now might not know that the character they found so interesting in, for example, D.H.Lawrence's Women in Love or Aldous Huxley's Crome Yellow, was based on a real person. Lady Ottoline Morrell was an original. Few people are. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Lady Ottoline Morrell was the foremost host of the Bloomsbury set, offering sustenance and friendship to Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, TS Eliot, DH Lawrence, Duncan Grant and her lover Bertrand Russell, to name but a few. This book is a revised and updated edition of the author's original biography of Ottoline first published in 1975 worldwide. It has been updated, with vignettes about her sources, including lunch at Charleston with Duncan Grant, and a ship's tumbler of sherry with David Garnett as a prelude to discussing "skeletons in Ottoline's cupboard." Her sources in Texas where she read more than 8,000 letters to Ottoline including 2,500 letters from Bertrand Russell, can now be located in new footnotes. Darroch remains as impressed as ever by Ottoline's courage and determination to forgo the comfortable life of an aristocrat to mix with -- and champion -- some of the 20th century's leading artists and writers. The definitive biography. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
