Free Download Sandra J. Darroch, "Garsington Revisited: The Legend of Lady Ottoline Morrell Brought Up-to-Date"
English | ISBN: 0861967372 | 2017 | 456 pages | EPUB | 7 MB
Lady Ottoline Morrell was the foremost host of the Bloomsbury set, offering sustenance and friendship to Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, TS Eliot, DH Lawrence, Duncan Grant and her lover Bertrand Russell, to name but a few. This book is a revised and updated edition of the author’s original biography of Ottoline first published in 1975 worldwide. It has been updated, with vignettes about her sources, including lunch at ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" / Charleston with Duncan Grant, and a ship’s tumbler of sherry with David Garnett as a prelude to discussing "skeletons in Ottoline’s cupboard"). Her sources in Texas where she read more than 8,000 letters to Ottoline including 2,500 letters from Bertrand Russell, can now be located in new footnotes. Darroch remains as impressed as ever by Ottoline’s courage and determination to forgo the comfortable life of an aristocrat to mix with – and champion – some of the 20th century’s leading artists and writers. The definitive biography.

Free Download The Lady Swings: Memoirs of a Jazz Drummer by Dottie Dodgion, Wayne Enstice
English | 2021 | ISBN: 0252085515 | 312 Pages | PDF | 2.2 MB
Dottie Dodgion is a jazz drummer who played with the best. A survivor, she lived an entire lifetime before she was seventeen. Undeterred by hardships she defied the odds and earned a seat as a woman in the exclusive men’s club of jazz. Her dues-paying path as a musician took her from early work with Charles Mingus to being hired by Benny Goodman at Basin Street East on her first day in New York. From there she broke new ground as a woman who played a "man’s instrument" in first-string, all-male New York City jazz bands. Her inspiring memoir talks frankly about her music and the challenges she faced, and shines a light into the jazz world of the 1960s and 1970s.
