[Vwoolf] New biography of Vita Sackville-West

[Shannon, Drew]

Greetings, all!

I have here the new biography of Vita Sackville-West, entitled Behind the Mask, by Matthew Dennison.  I'm bewildered by something:  twice on the dust jacket, there's a statement that this is the first biography of Vita in "forty years," since Nigel Nicolson's Portrait of a Marriage -- once in the jacket description, and once in a blurb from the Daily Express.  Math's never been my strong suit, but didn't Victoria Glendinning's bio of Vita come out in 1983?

"I meant to write about death, only life came breaking in as usual." -- Virginia Woolf, Diary, 17 February 1922
