Beechey quotes his own book about Clive Bell, dated 2000, which I'm pretty sure was never published, and certainly wasn't by that date. I spoke to John Murray in 2003/4 because I wanted it for some research, and was told that although it had been under contract for years it had never been delivered. There's a very cheesed-off 'review' on Amazon by someone who ordered the book from them but never received it, and (rightly, it seems) doubts its existence.<br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6838" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6494"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6708" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6494">Now, as then, I think there should be a CB biography. Whatever we think of him personally, he was an important Bloomsbury figure, and all the movers and shakers of Bloomsbury have their own biog -- except him. (I'm a great fan of Saxon, but couldn't class him as an influential Bloomsbury figure.)<br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6830" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6494"><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6829" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442398662137_6494">If anyone knows James Beechey, please encourage him to write the book or pass his research to someone else to write it.
