Cine s-a întâlnit cu Vita Sackville-West?

Victoria Mary, Lady Nicolson, CH (née Sackville-West; 9 March 1892 – 2 June 1962), usually known as Vita Sackville-West, was an English author and garden designer.

Sackville-West was a successful novelist, poet and journalist, as well as a prolific letter writer and diarist. She published more than a dozen collections of poetry and 13 novels during her life. She was twice awarded the Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: in 1927 for her pastoral epic, The Land, and in 1933 for her Collected Poems. She was the inspiration for the protagonist of Orlando: A Biography, by her friend and lover Virginia Woolf.

She wrote a column in The Observer from 1946 to 1961 and is remembered for the celebrated garden at Sissinghurst in Kent, created with her husband, Sir Harold Nicolson.

Violet Trefusis (née Keppel; 6 June 1894 – 29 February 1972) was an English socialite and author. She is chiefly remembered for her lengthy affair with the writer Vita Sackville-West that both women continued after their respective marriages. It was featured in novels by both parties; in Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando: A Biography; and in many letters and memoirs of the period roughly from 1912 to 1922. She may have been the inspiration for aspects of the character Lady Montdore in Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate and of Muriel in Harold Acton's The Soul's Gymnasium (1982).

Trefusis herself wrote many novels, as well as non-fiction works, both in English and in French. Although some of her books sold well, others went unpublished, and her overall critical heritage remains lukewarm.

Virginia Woolf (nume original Adeline Virginia Stephen, n. 25 ianuarie 1882, Londra, Regatul Unit al Marii Britanii și Irlandei – d. 28 martie 1941, Lewes, Anglia, Regatul Unit) a fost o scriitoare engleză, eseistă, feministă, editoare și scriitoare de povești, cunoscută drept una dintre figurile moderniste literare de frunte ale secolului al XX-lea.

În perioada interbelică, Virginia Woolf a fost o personalitate marcantă în societatea literară din Londra și membru al Grupului Bloomsbury. Operele ei cele mai renumite includ Doamna Dalloway(1925), Spre far (1927), Orlando (1928) și eseul de dimensiunea unei cărți A Room of One's Own (1929), cu faimosul său dicton: „O femeie trebuie să dispună de bani și de o cameră separată, dacă vrea să scrie ficțiune”.

Mary Barnes Hutchinson (29 March 1889 – 17 April 1977) was a British short-story writer, socialite, model and a member of the Bloomsbury Group.

Mary Margaret Garman Campbell (1898–1979) was the eldest of the seven Garman sisters known for their glamorous, bohemian lifestyles and their many love affairs with famous artists, writers, and musicians of interwar London. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and the wife of the radical South African poet Roy Campbell, who attacked the group in The Georgiad (1931), a response to his wife's lesbian affair with Vita Sackville-West.
