In this beguiling book, Ann-Marie Priest considers the love lives of our greatest twentieth century writers and claims that our current notions of love have been shaped by the affairs of these influential figures.
In exploring ideas of sexuality, marriage, same-sex relationships and passionate friendships, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, DH Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Vita Sackville-West, Katherine Mansfield and Charmian Clift forged a darker, richer, more complex mythology of romantic love than the one that preceded it. In 'Great Writers', Ann-Marie Priest argues that their legacy changed the way we think about love today.
