Short biography
Vita Sackville-West was born into the aristocratic family that owned the beautiful and ancient Knole House in Kent, once home to the Archbishop of Canterbury. It was her great grief that, as a woman, she could not inherit it. She married the diplomat and future MP Harold Nicolson and traveled with him to Constantinople and Persia. The couple were associated with the Bloomsbury set, and after the birth of their two sons (one of whom, Nigel, wrote his parents' biography in Portrait of a Marriage), they had many independent relationships. Besides her writing, Vita worked tirelessly for years to create her own magnificent gardens at her home Sissinghurst.
