Dora Carrington's association with Lytton Strachey and his
Bloomsbury
friends has tended to overshadow her own contribution to modern
British
painting. This book aims to redress the balance by looking at
the
immense range of her work: portraits, landscapes, glass paintings
and
letter illustrations.
Besides the biographies of Augustus John, Bernard Shaw and Lytton Strachey, Michael Holroyd has written two volumes of memoirs, Basil Street Blues and Mosaic. He was president of the Royal Society of Literature from 2003 - 2008 and is the only non-fiction writer to have been awarded the British Literature Prize. He lives in London and Somerset with his wife, the novelist Margaret Drabble.
