By odd coincidence, Glendinning was the same age when she published this biography as Bowen was when she published The Death of the Heart, but Glendinning was still early in her career and her major works--biographies of Edith Sitwell, Vita Sackville-West, Rebecca West, Anthony Trollope, and Jonathan Swift--lay in the future. Strathern also discusses her love affair with Vita Sackville-West, for whom Woolf wrote the novel Orlando. SP: Virginia Woolf, as I understand it from reading the diaries, wrote Orlando as a gift to Vita Sackville-West, and I think she lets Orlando keep the house in her story because Vita had been disinherited in real life. |
