Timeline

1916

In fact, although there was no formal separation or divorce, the Bells' marriage had come to an end in 1916.

In that year, Vanessa rented Charleston Farmhouse from the Gage estate, so that Duncan Grant, with whom she had fallen in love, and his lover, David Garnett, could work there as farm labourers; both were conscientious objectors.

Grant and Vanessa Bell continued to live together after the presumed end of their sexual relationship.

Clive Bell would visit at weekends.

When Vanessa Bell informed her daughter of her true parentage she advised her not to talk about it.

The deception avoided servant gossip and preserved the possibility of a legacy from Clive Bell's father who had settled allowances on his grandchildren.

1918

Angelica Vanessa Garnett (née Bell; 25 December 1918 – 4 May 2012), was a British writer, painter and artist.

Angelica Garnett was born at Charleston Farmhouse in East Sussex on Christmas Day 1918.

She was the biological daughter of the painter Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell; her aunt was Virginia Woolf.

1924

The couple moved to Hilton Hall, Cambridgeshire, which David Garnett had bought in 1924.

1935

She left without any qualifications, spent several months living in Rome and in 1935 moved for a time to Paris, staying with the artist Zoum Walter and her writer husband Francois.

1936

In 1936 Angelica went to the London Theatre Studio to train, briefly, as an actress under Michel Saint-Denis and George Devine.

She changed to the study of art at the Euston Road School, where she was taught by William Coldstream and Victor Pasmore, the latter of whom apparently reduced her to tears.

1937

Until the summer of 1937, when Garnett was 18, she believed her biological father was Clive Bell, Vanessa's husband, rather than the mostly homosexual Grant, although the reality was an open secret within their immediate Bloomsbury circle.

Angelica grew up believing that two of those grandchildren, Vanessa and Clive's sons, Julian Bell, who was killed in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War, and the art historian Quentin Bell, were her biological brothers, rather than her biological half-brothers.

Vanessa comforted herself with the idea that her daughter had two fathers; "in reality," Angelica wrote, "I had none".

Angelica Garnett grew up at Charleston, indulged by her mother and surrounded by the artists, writers and intellectuals of the Bloomsbury Group.

1938

The relationship had begun in the spring of 1938, when Garnett was married to his first wife, Rachel "Ray" Marshall, who was dying of cancer.

Angelica had four daughters with Garnett—Amaryllis, Henrietta, Nerissa, and Frances.

Garnett was a member of her parents' circle and a former lover of Duncan Grant, her father.

When Angelica was born, Garnett had written to Lytton Strachey saying of the baby: "Its beauty is the remarkable thing … I think of marrying it; when she is 20 I shall be 46 – will it be scandalous?" In fact Garnett was nearly 50 at the time of their marriage.

Despite their consternation, Angelica's parents did not inform their daughter of these details of Garnett's past, although various associates of the family did attempt to warn her against the marriage: John Maynard Keynes had her to tea.

Angelica lost her virginity to Garnett in H.G. Wells's spare bedroom.

1942

In 1942, aged 24, Angelica married David Garnett, by then an editor, reviewer and novelist whose parents were Edward Garnett and Constance Garnett, the noted translator of Russian literature.

1955

His novella, Aspects of Love (1955), dedicated to Angelica and involving similarly complicated domestic arrangements, was later adapted into a highly successful musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

1967

The Garnetts separated in 1967.

For a time Angelica was in love with George Bergen, a Russian-Jewish painter who had been another of Duncan Grant's lovers, but the relationship did not last.

1978

She moved back to Charleston after the death of Duncan Grant in 1978, before moving to nearby Ringmer and then to France.

Garnett had spent long parts of her childhood staying in the south of France, mostly at Cassis, near Marseilles.

Garnett was actively involved in the efforts that saw Charleston restored and opened to the public as a museum.

1984

She was the author of the memoir Deceived with Kindness (1984), an account of her experience growing up at the heart of the Bloomsbury Group.

In 1984 Angelica Garnett published her memoir, Deceived with Kindness: A Bloomsbury Childhood.

The book was direct and sharply critical in its description of her upbringing and relationship with her parents, revealing Bloomsbury's rather conventional inability to confront deep personal feelings.

In those characteristics it was a departure from much of the coverage the Bloomsbury Group had received up to that time.

1985

In it Garnett wrote, "My dream of the perfect father – unrealized – possessed me, and has done so for the rest of my life. My marriage was but a continuation of it, and almost engulfed me." The memoir was awarded the J. R. Ackerley Prize for Autobiography in 1985.

1998

Garnett was the author of a second memoir, The Eternal Moment (1998), and published a volume of autobiographical fiction entitled The Unspoken Truth: A Quartet of Bloomsbury Stories (2010).

At the time of her death she had been working on an autobiography.

After the end of her marriage, Angelica Garnett moved to Islington, north London.

2014

After her 14th birthday, Virginia Woolf gave Angelica a clothing budget of £100 a year.

At the age of ten she was sent to boarding school at Langford Grove in Essex.
