  ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  In writing about this London square, I’ve benefited from the generosity and expertise of people across the world. I’ve pursued these women to Paris and Sussex, to America and to Cornwall (where I tried to stay as close as possible to the house where H. D. lived with Cecil Gray, and ended up staying at a farmhouse which, as it turned out, Virginia Woolf visited in 1910). Writing is always a collaborative enterprise and my research has been informed by that of many predecessors, whose works are listed in the bibliography; I’m also immensely grateful to the many scholars who have patiently answered questions, helped with leads, shared their own research with me, and shown so much enthusiasm for this project over the four years I’ve spent working on it.
