She symbolised the twenties and scandalized the thirties; like a shooting star, she was beautiful, rebellious - and doomed. By all accounts Nancy Cunard was a bewitching woman. The only child of an American society hostess and an English baronet, she became the darling of high-cafe society in the twenties and thirties. She had an insatiable lust for life and lovers; her private affairs became public scandals. She knew TS Eliot, James Joyce, and Louis Aragon; she sat for Cecil Beaton, and Max Beerbohm sketched her; she was an Aldous Huxley heroine in Antic Hay. A poet and a writer, she was the avant-garde publisher who "discovered" Samuel Beckett. She was a passionate advocate of racial equality and a journalist in the Spanish Civil War. By the time of her tragic death in 1965, Nancy Cunard had become the dazzling symbol of her age. Black and white photographs.
