First Edition, published by HarperCollins, 2001, hardcover, 340 pages, index, illustrated, condition: as new.

  The Bloomsbury set, passionate, unconventional and daring, have passed into literary legend. The life of Roy Campbell, best friend and bitter enemy to many in the group, reveals many of the contradictions and paradoxes behind their stormy relationships. On the centenary of his birth, we look back at a man who once ate a vase of daffodils with Dylan Thomas in celebration of St David's Day. He brawled with poets in the pubs of London, yet they refused to press charges against him, saying that he was "a great poet". Later, his wife's affair with Vita Sackville-West nearly tore him apart, prompting them to leave England in search of peace on the Continent. That peace was shattered by the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. Joseph Pearce has interviewed Roy Campbell's daughters, his granddaughter and his close friend, Rob Lyle. With access to hundreds of previously unpublished letters and photographs, this title promises the inside story on one of the most famous writing groups It also features a selection of Campbell's poetry.

Joseph Pearce is the author of many HarperCollins' biographies, including The Unmasking of Oscar Wilde, Solzhenitsyn: A Soul in Exile, and Literary Converts.
