Frances Partridge: the last survivor of the Bloomsbury group - the
authorised biography. Frances Partridge was one of the great
British diarists of the 20th century. She became part of the
Bloomsbury group encountering Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, the
Bells, Roger Fry, Maynard Keynes, Dora Carrington and Ralph
Partridge. She and Ralph fell in love and married in 1933. During
the Second World War they were committed pacifists and they enjoyed
the happiest times of their lives together, entertaining friends
such as E.M. Forster, Robert Kee and Duncan Grant. Despite losing
both her husband and son, Frances maintained an astonishing
appetite for life, whether for her friends, travelling, botany, or
music. Her diaries (which she continued to write until her death in
2004) chronicle her life from the 1930s onwards. Their publication
brought her recognition and acclaim, and earned her the right to be
seen not as a minor character on the Bloomsbury stage but standing
at the centre of her own.
