Review
"Michael Stevens seems to have taken full advantage of the recent interest aroused by Nigel Nicolson's 'Portrait of a Marriage.' In 'V. Sackville-West' he offers a restrained, almost photographic representation of a paradoxical literary figure. His biography affords little information about Victoria Sackville-West that her son Nigel has not already provided. The text is interspersed with summaries of V. Sackville-West's
copious fiction and with random quotations from published and unpublished poetry. The reader in search of an informative critical biography will be greatly disappointed. Stevens merely adds another snapshot to the Bloomsbury family album." Reviewed by Robert Jackson, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
