Description

Lady Ottoline Morrell was a woman of remarkable wit and courage, whose life was marked by a series of unlikely friendships and enduring relationships. This biography presents a fresh perspective on a figure who has long been misunderstood, revealing a complex and multifaceted individual who defied convention and forged her own path. For decades, Ottoline Morrell was the subject of a false and vicious image, one that was perpetuated by those who benefited from her generosity and friendship. But this landmark literary biography sets the record straight, revealing a brilliant and courageous woman who was at the heart of the Bloomsbury group. With a cast of characters that includes some of the most famous writers and artists of the time, including T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf, this book is a fascinating exploration of a bygone era. Through her remarkable story, Miranda Seymour sheds new light on a period of history that has been often overlooked or distorted. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in the lives of the Bloomsbury group, and those who are drawn to stories of women who defied convention and forged their own paths.
