Qui est sorti avec Vita Sackville-West?

Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson, plus connue sous le nom de Vita Sackville-West, née le 9 mars 1892 et morte le 2 juin 1962, est une poétesse, romancière, essayiste, biographe, traductrice et jardinière britannique.

Son long poème narratif, The Land, reçoit le prix Hawthornden en 1927. Elle l'obtient une seconde fois, devenant la première écrivaine dans ce cas, en 1933 avec ses Collected Poems.

Elle est aussi connue pour avoir participé à la création de ses jardins au château de Sissinghurst, dans le Kent, pour sa vie aristocratique exubérante, son mariage solide avec Harold Nicolson, et ses amours passionnées avec des femmes comme Violet Trefusis et la romancière Virginia Woolf.

Adeline Virginia Woolf (; née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941) was an English writer and one of the most influential 20th-century modernist authors. She helped to pioneer the use of stream of consciousness narration as a literary device.

Virginia Woolf was born in South Kensington, London, into an affluent and intellectual family as the seventh child of Julia Prinsep Jackson and Leslie Stephen. She grew up in a blended household of eight children, including her sister, the painter Vanessa Bell. Educated at home in English classics and Victorian literature, Woolf later attended King’s College London, where she studied classics and history and encountered early advocates for women’s rights and education.

After the death of her father in 1904, Woolf and her family moved to the bohemian Bloomsbury district, where she became a founding member of the influential Bloomsbury Group. She married Leonard Woolf in 1912, and together they established the Hogarth Press in 1917, which published much of her work. They eventually settled in Sussex in 1940, maintaining their involvement in literary circles throughout their lives.

Woolf began publishing professionally in 1900 and rose to prominence during the interwar period with novels like Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), and Orlando (1928), as well as the feminist essay A Room of One’s Own (1929). Her work became central to 1970s feminist criticism and remains influential worldwide, having been translated into over 50 languages. Woolf’s legacy endures extensive scholarship, cultural portrayals, and tributes such as memorials, societies, and university buildings bearing her name.

Violet Keppel, dite Trefusis (Londres, 6 juin 1894 - Florence, 1^er mars 1972), est une écrivaine britannique, membre de la haute société anglaise. On la connaît surtout pour sa liaison saphique avec Vita Sackville-West, qui a été transposée dans Orlando : Une biographie, roman de Virginia Woolf. Elle est la grand-tante de la reine Camilla, actuelle reine du Royaume-Uni.

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.
