Vita Sackville-West: aristocrat, literary celebrity, devoted wife, famous lover of Virginia Woolf, recluse - and iconoclast who defied categorisation. Here are all the triumphs and contradictions of Vita's extraordinary life: her lonely childhood at Knole, her affectionate but ‘open' marriage to Harold Nicolson (during which both husband and wife energetically pursued homosexual affairs, Vita most famously with Virginia Woolf), her literary successes and disappointments and the famous gardens the couple created at Sissinghurst. Her aristocratic background gave her a penchant for costume, play-acting and rebellion which she took to the artistic vanguard of modern Britain. But behind Vita's public achievements and revolutions was an often troubled persona which heroically resisted compromise on every level. Illustrated with black and white and colour archival photographs.
