abstract
{"value"=>"Angelica Garnett (b. 1918), the daughter of the artist Vanessa Bell (Virginia Woolf's sister) and the artist Duncan Grant, believed until the age of 17 that her father was Clive Bell, her mother's husband and the man whose surname she bore. In 1942, she married the writer and publisher David Garnett (1892-1981), the former lover of her biological father, Duncan Grant. They had four daughters before separating. Her memoir Deceived with Kindness (London: Chatto and Windus/Hogarth Press, 1984), often highly critical of her mother and of Grant, won the 1985 J. R. Ackerley Prize for Autobiography. Collection consists of 55 t.l.s., 28 a.l.s., and 10 a.n.s. from Angelica Garnett to Richard Lipsett and one photocopy of a letter from Lipsett to \"Milbs and Mollie.\" Subjects include Virginia Woolf; Vanessa Bell; the Berg Collection letters written by Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell to each other; Charleston, the East Sussex country home of Vanessa Bell, her husband, Clive Bell, and her lover, Duncan Grant, which became a meeting place for the Bloomsbury Group; Duncan Grant; art historian Quentin Bell (Garnett's half-brother); biographers of Bloomsbury Group members and scholars of their works; and Angelica Garnett's personal life."}
