Frances Partridge

    Frances Partridge fue la última miembro sobreviviente del renombrado Bloomsbury Group. Es celebrada principalmente por sus diarios sinceros, que ofrecen una ventana íntima al ambiente intelectual y social de este influyente círculo artístico. Sus escritos se caracterizan por un agudo ingenio y una observación sin barnizar tanto de las corrientes sociales como de la introspección personal. La contribución literaria de Partridge reside en su habilidad única para capturar la esencia de su época con notable claridad y perspicacia.

      At the outset of the Second World War Ralph and Frances Partridge were both convinced pacifists. These extracts from Frances` war diary present an intimate and vivid picture of their life at Ham Spray in Wiltshire , which was a refuge to a wide range of friends, including many of their fellow 'Bloomsberries', as well as a stream of refugees and the dispossessed. Frances's diaries give a candid, intimate picture of their domestic upheavals and rich intellectual life, while also noting her sharp observations about nature and world events.
