First edition. This is the most comprehensive bibliography on Sackville-West, which encompasses the great diversity of her writings, which includes novels such as THE EDWARDIANS and ALL PASSION SPENT and biographies like PEPITA, which was about her grandmother who was a Spanish dancer. Along with the aforementioned novels and biographies, the authors have listed 61 books and pamphlets, 50 contributions to books, her published letters, 170 appearances in anthologies, 1,179 articles, short stories and poems, 196 broadcasts and 170 programs using her works. This work is one in a series of Winchester Bibliographies of Twentieth Century Writers. Sackville-West's fame as a poet rests on her two masterpieces, THE LAND and THE GARDEN. Here she combines her two great loves, gardening and writing. Her garden at Sissinghurst is still an artistic triumph, attracting over 400,000 visitors a year.
This work has a beautifully-written foreword by Nigel Nicolson, Sackville-West's son and author of PORTRAIT OF A MARRIAGE. In it he states that this work is a "literary biography...indefatigable research...an essential tool for librarians, booksellers, collectors, historians, and many others."
