"Considering the success of Mark Hussey’s biography of Clive Bell, it’s no surprise that his edition of Bell's letters is so perceptive and well-chosen. The letters show Bell at his best, whether debating his art theories or his pacifism or describing a picnic. Generous with friends, feisty with Philistines, he practiced a lost art of letter-writing as a gift and a performance: a 'significant form' in itself."
– Regina Marler, editor of Selected Letters of Vanessa Bell
