Quem namorou Vita Sackville-West?

Victoria Mary Sackville-West, mais conhecida por Vita Sackville-West, CH (Knole House, 9 de Março de 1892 – Jardim do Castelo de Sissinghurst, 2 de Junho de 1962) foi uma poetisa, romancista e paisagista inglesa. O seu longo poema narrativo, The Land, valeu-lhe o prémio Hawthornden Prize em 1927. Voltaria a vencê-lo em 1933 com os seus Collected Poems, tornando-se o único autor galardoado duas vezes com este prémio. Dedicou-se à criação do seu jardim em Sissinghurst, Kent, que esteve na origem do celebrado Jardim do Castelo de Sissinghurst. Foi famosa pela sua exuberante vida aristocrática, o seu forte casamento e as suas apaixonadas relações lésbicas com mulheres como 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 Trefusis (Londres, 06 de junho de 1894 – Bellosguardo 29 de fevereiro de 1972), nascida Violet Keppel, foi uma socialite e escritora britânica. Ela é lembrada sobretudo por seu relacionamento lésbico com a célebre poetisa e romancista Vita Sackville-West. Além disso, Trefusis é tia-avó da rainha Camila do Reino Unido.

Filha de Alice Keppel, amante do rei Eduardo VII do Reino Unido, Violet casou-se com Denys Trefusis, um major da Guarda Real a Cavalo, em 1919. O casal não teve filhos. Ao longo do casamento, Violet, que era lésbica, manteve casos extraconjugais com mulheres notáveis, entre elas Winnaretta Singer, herdeira da empresa de máquinas de costura Singer, e a rica poetisa e romancista Vita Sackville-West. Sua vida romântica foi central para a produção de sua obra literária.

A princesa russa Sasha, do clássico romance semi-biográfico Orlando: Uma Biografia, de Virginia Woolf, foi inspirada em Violet.

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.
