[Vwoolf] Clive Bell: a Biography

Wed Sep 16 07:47:37 EDT 2015

I'm very glad to hear this, but Mark has a few other things on his plate, namely, Danell's biofiction and the graphic novel edition of Mrs Dalloway. I hope he isn't overstretching himself.

Subject: Re: [Vwoolf] Clive Bell: a Biography   The odd thing about this is the refs. 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.

 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.)

 If anyone knows James Beechey, please encourage him to write the book or pass his research to someone else to write it. Anyone?
