Spirits of Place by Jane Brown

Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Rupert Brooke, Carrington and L.P. Hartley - and the story of the places that inspired them. Five people famous for their books, art and uncoventional lifestyles in the first half of the 20th century. And five people who were drawn towards special rural landscapes that informed their work with a startling intensity. From their cherished childhood paradises via the clipped lawns of Cambridge to country retreats in Sussex, Jane Brown describes the symbolic importance of the English lanscape when it blends with the creative imagination.
Jane Brown is a well-known writer on garden history and the author of previous books with Viking, including Gardens of a Golden Afternoon, Vita's other World and Lutyens and the Edwardians. Jane Brown lives near Peterborough, in Northamptonshire.
