Vita Sackville-West
The Hon. Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson, CH (9 March 1892 – 2 June 1962), usually known as Vita Sackville-West, was an English poet, novelist, and garden designer. A successful and prolific novelist, poet, and journalist during her lifetime—she was twice awarded the Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: in 1927 for her pastoral epic, ''The Land'', and in 1933 for her ''Collected Poems''—today she is chiefly remembered for the celebrated garden at Sissinghurst she created with her diplomat husband, Sir Harold Nicolson. She is also remembered as the inspiration for the androgynous protagonist of the historical romp, ''Orlando: A Biography'' by her famous friend and admirer, Virginia Woolf, with whom she had a brief affair.〔In a letter to her son, Nigel Nicolson (''Portrait of A Marriage''), Vita Sackville-West wrote to her Nigel Nicolson that the physical component of her famous affair with Virginia Woolf had consisted of two occasions when they went to bed together and even then, they may have only engaged in "bundling", since Vita was aware of Woolf's extreme emotional fragility and did not want to cause her a mental breakdown with a tempestuously sexual affair. See Nigel Nicolson, ''Portrait of a Marriage'' (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, () 1998), p. 206.〕
