<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div>Thanks, Vara, for pointing these out. I have to say that both annoyed me considerably. Look away now anyone who has an aversion to a review of a review (normally I'd join you).<br><br>In the Birrell article, Kathryn Hughes, though a seasoned Guardian writer, makes tries to score some very lazy class points by observing that Vanessa Bell's servants had to work hard and were underpaid. This was not a feature solely of Bell's household. However much we dislike the fact, that's how capitalism works: people pay others to do jobs they can't or would prefer not to do: more often than not, they don't pay them enough. And Woolf not knowing Winifred Gill's name is probably because, at the time, Gill was a shop assistant not an artist.<br><br>The Yahoo News piece is even worse. 'Their house [46 Gordon Square] became a magnet for cultural elites such as D.H. Lawrence, T. S. Eliot, Aldous Huxley, Pablo Picasso, and others.' Dubious grammar and even more dubious assertions. But the real insult is the vast underestimation of Mark Hussey's biography: 'gossipy and willy-nilly' is about the polar opposite of my reading experience: did the reviewer read a different book?</div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div>
