Description
Muchos amigos me han ayudado a escribir este libro. Algunos han muerto y son tan ilustres que apenas me atrevo a nombrarlos, aunque nadie puede leer o escribir sin estar en perpetua deuda con Defoe, Sir Thomas Browne, Sterne, Sir Walter Scott, Lord Macaulay, Emily Brontë, De Quincey y Walter Pater para no mencionar sino a los primeros que se me ocurren. Otros, quizás igualmente ilustres, viven aún y el hecho mismo los hace menos formidables. Estoy agradecida especialmente a Mr. C. P. Sanger, cuya versación en la ley de inmuebles me ha permitido realizar este libro. La vasta y peculiar erudición de Mr. Sydney Turner me ha evitado, lo espero, algunos lamentables errores. He tenido la ventaja -sólo yo puedo apreciar su valor- del conocimiento del chino de Mr. Waley. Madame Lopokova (Mrs. J. M. Keynes) ha estado siempre lista a corregir mi ruso. A la imaginación e incomparable simpatía de Mr. Roger Dry debo cuanto sé del arte pictórico. Espero haber aprovechado en otro terreno la crítica singularmente penetrante, aunque severa, de mi sobrino Mr. Julian Bell. Las investigaciones infatigables de Miss M. K. Snowdon en los archivos de Harrogatey de Cheltenham no fueron menos arduas por haber resultado del todo inútiles. Otros amigos me auxiliaron en modos demasiado diversos para ser especificados aquí. Básteme nombrar a Mr. Angus Davidson; a Mrs. Cartwright; a Miss Janet Case, a Lord Berners (cuyo conocimiento de la música isabelina me ha resultado inapreciable); a Mr. Francis Birrell; a mi hermano, el Dr. Adrian Stephen; a Mr. F. L. Lucas; a Mr. y Mrs. Desmond Maccarthy; al más alentador de los críticos, mi cuñado, Mr. Clive Bell; a Mr. H. G. Rylands; a Lady Colefax; a Miss Nellie Boxall; a Mr. J. M. Keynes; a Mr. Hugh Walpole; a Miss Violet Dickinson; al Honorable Edward Sackville-West; a Mr. y Mrs. St. John Hutchinson; a Mr. Duncan Grant; a Mr. y Mrs. Stephen Tomlin; a Mr. y Lady Ottoline Morrell; a mi madre política Mrs. Sidney Woolf; a Mr. Osbert Sitwell; a Madame Jacques Raverat; al Coronel Cory Bell; a Miss Valerie Taylor; a Mr. J. T. Sheppard; a Mr. y Mrs. T. S. Eliot; a Miss Sands; a Miss Nan Hudson; a mi sobrino Mr. Quentin Bell (apreciado y antiguo colaborador en materia novelística);

She was home-schooled in English classics and Victorian literature from a young age. From 1897 to 1901, she attended the Ladies' Department of King's College London, where she studied classics and history and came into contact with early reformers of women's higher education and the women's rights movement.
