British painter Dora Carrington was the star of her year at the Slade School of Fine Art, but never achieved the fame her early career promised. A prolific and exuberant letter writer during her too-short life, she corresponded with Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Rosamund Lehmann, Maynard Keynes and many other major figures, and some of these letters form the basis of this fascinating volume. Carrington was not consciously a pioneer or a feminist, but in her determination to live life according to her own nature especially in relation to her work, her passionate friendships and her fluid attitude to sex, gender and sexuality she fought and wrote about battles that remain familiar and urgent today.
