Timeline

1917

Nigel Nicolson (19 January 1917 – 23 September 2004) was an English writer, publisher and politician.

Nicolson was the second son of writers Sir Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West; he had an elder brother Ben, an art historian.

The boys grew up in Kent, first at Long Barn, near their mother's ancestral home at Knole, and then at Sissinghurst Castle, where their parents created a famous garden.

Nicolson was sent to board at Summer Fields, a prep school in Oxford; he then attended Eton College and Balliol College, Oxford.

During World War II, he served with the Grenadier Guards, later writing their official history.

Nicolson wrote many books.

1948

He and George Weidenfeld co-founded the publishing house Weidenfeld & Nicolson, of which he was a director from 1948 to 1992.

He also worked as a broadcaster and was a member of the Ancient Monuments Board.

1950

Although his father had been first a National Labour and then a Labour politician, Nigel Nicolson became active in the Conservative Party and contested Leicester North West in 1950 and Falmouth and Camborne in 1951, without success.

1952

He was elected Member of Parliament for Bournemouth East and Christchurch at a by-election in February 1952, when the previous MP, Brendan Bracken, was elevated to the House of Lords.

1953

In 1953, Nicolson married Philippa, the daughter of Sir Gervais Tennyson d'Eyncourt, and they had two daughters, Rebecca, a publisher, and Juliet, a historian, and a son, Adam, a writer.

1955

Nicolson was re-elected in the seat in the general election of May 1955.

However, he was uncomfortable within the Conservatives and voted with Labour to abolish hanging and abstained in a vote of confidence in the government over the Suez Crisis.

His constituency association called for him to resign and wrote to the Prime Minister to brief against the MP.

A ballot of members was called.

1959

A controversy relating to his publishing interests broke a few years later, the company's decision to publish the British edition of Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita in 1959.

Nicolson lost the members' vote and was forced to step down at the general election of October 1959.

Nicolson returned to writing, particularly on heritage and biography.

1970

Nigel and Philippa divorced in 1970.

1973

He co-wrote a celebrated 1973 book on his parents, Portrait of a Marriage.

It balanced a frank account of his bisexual parents' extramarital affairs (especially Vita Sackville-West's 'elopement' with Violet Trefusis) with their enduring love for each other and caused an uproar when it was published.

He edited his father's diaries and, with Joanne Trautmann, the letters of Virginia Woolf.

Later, he wrote the "Long Life" column for The Spectator, and a Time of My Life column for The Sunday Telegraph.

1997

His autobiography, Long Life, was published in 1997.

2004

Nicolson died on 23 September 2004, at Sissinghurst Castle, in Kent.

2016

Juliet has written about her father and his ancestors in A House Full of Daughters (2016).

Adam has revived the home farm at Sissinghurst.
