Overview

"An examination of the creative intimacy between Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf, this work interprets their relationship and their work in the light of their experience as married lesbians. It offers readings of their autobiographical texts and of ""Orlando"", and looks at Vita Sackville-West's work as biographer and novelist. This book is intended for scholars, graduates and undergraduates in literature departments studying Woolf and V. Sackville-West, modernism, genre-theory, autobiography and women's studies. It should also be of interest to general readers interested in the Bloomsbury group and women's/lesbian writing."
