Vita Sackville-West by Mary Ann Caws
This volume collects a wide variety of Vita Sackville-West's works, over half of which, including her travel notebooks, her diaries, some short stories, and her intimate dream notebook, have never been published.
'This lightly annotated volume of selected writings..is intended to acquaint the contemporary reader with the range of Sackville-West's literary talents.' - Publishers Weekly '...a complex and compelling portrait of Sackville-West emerges...' - J.E. Steiner, Choice 'Caws sees the interesting contradictions in Vita's life and writing - at once nonconformist and traditional, 'adventuresome' and reclusive, sexually faithless and maritally loyal, unconventional and immensley snobbish.' - Hermione Lee, The Guardian
