A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Sarah M. Hall explores eight men and how they affected the life and writings of Virginia Stephen before she married Leonard Woolf. These include the classicist Walter Headlam, her brother-in-law, Clive Bell, the poet Rupert Brooke and biographer Lytton Strachey. "Occasionally Virginia's friends suspected that she was 'collecting' interesting experiences and people in order to turn them into fiction," writes Hall. "It is easy to believe that she sometimes toyed with her suitors with the intention of observing the characteristics of love-affairs for the sake of her writing." This is a fascinating look at the private correspondence, diaries, memoirs and novels of a great writer and at some of the many admirers who had an important impact on her life. --The Lady
