A prominent figure of the Modernist movement, Vita Sackville-West was a successful novelist, poet and journalist, who published more than ten collections of poetry and numerous novels. She was twice awarded the Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: in 1927 for her pastoral epic, ‘The Land’ and in 1933 for her seminal ‘Collected Poems’. She also wrote the extremely popular novels ‘The Edwardians’ and ‘All Passion Spent’, as well as scholarly non-fiction works. Sackville-West was the famous inspiration for the protagonist of ‘Orlando: A Biography’, by her famous friend and lover, Virginia Woolf.
