Hvem daterte Violet Trefusis?

Violet Trefusis (née Keppel; 6 June 1894 – 29 February 1972) was an English socialite and author. She is chiefly remembered for her lengthy affair with the writer Vita Sackville-West that both women continued after their respective marriages. It was featured in novels by both parties; in Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando: A Biography; and in many letters and memoirs of the period roughly from 1912 to 1922. She may have been the inspiration for aspects of the character Lady Montdore in Nancy Mitford's Love in a Cold Climate and of Muriel in Harold Acton's The Soul's Gymnasium (1982).

Trefusis herself wrote many novels, as well as non-fiction works, both in English and in French. Although some of her books sold well, others went unpublished, and her overall critical heritage remains lukewarm.

Victoria Mary Sackville-West, The Honorable Lady Nicolson, mest kjent under navnet Vita Sackville-West, (født 9. mars 1892 på familiegodset Knole House, død 2. juni 1962 på Sissinghurst) var en britisk poet, romanforfatter og hageekspert. Hennes lange fortellende dikt «The Land» vant Hawthornden Prize i 1926. Hun mottok samme pris igjen i 1933 for sin diktsamling Collected Poems. Hun tok aktivt del i formingen av sine hager ved Sissinghurst i Kent. Hun ble berømt for sitt overdådige aristokratiske liv, sitt originale ekteskap med Harold Nicolson og sine heftige intime forhold med andre kvinner, blant andre forfatterne Violet Trefusis og Virginia Woolf.

I 1946 ble hun tildelt Order of the Companions of Honour for sine litterære bidrag.
