ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
When this book was just a vague idea, it was Valerie Pakenham, one-time colleague and longtime friend, who said “You must do it.” So I set about the writing with my husband, Christopher Bailey, sharing equally in the work. Simon Trewin of Peters Fraser and Dunlop has been more than encouraging. We have been immensely fortunate that Georgina Morley gave us the backing of Macmillan in London and has guided us with unfailing enthusiasm ever since. She took this slightly unusual style of biography in her stride, and with Sarah Crichton of Farrar, Straus and Giroux in New York edited it in masterly fashion.
When first writing about Gertrude Bell for The Sunday Times Magazine, I was privileged to be helped by Lesley Gordon, the late Archivist of the Robinson Library of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and custodian of the Gertrude Bell archive. It appears that she gave her life to the memory of Gertrude, writing the handbook and providing material for the British Council’s Gertrude Bell exhibition in 1994. Authors and historians alike must be forever grateful for her “Gertrude Bell Project,” through which she raised funds for Gertrude’s diaries, letters, and seven thousand
photographs to be available on the Internet. When we wrote to tell her about the book, we were sad to discover that she had died. Nevertheless, we had the benefit of her help beyond the grave: her exhibition booklet Gertrude Bell 1868–1926 is the best short guide you could hope to find.
Our searches for original documents were facilitated by the Robinson Library’s patient librarians and archivists: Helen Arkwright together with Melanie Wood, Elaine Archbold, Frank Addison, and Alan Callender. The erudite Jim Crow of the School of Historical Studies at Newcastle University, another Gertrude enthusiast, helped us to grasp the essentials of Gertrude’s contributions to archaeology and photography. In a very different field, Yvonne Sibbold of the Alpine Club and the climber Michael Westmacott kindly reviewed our chapter on Gertrude’s climbs, an aspect of the book whose drama took some teasing from the detail of ledges and chimneys, arêtes and overhangs, in her writings. We are indebted to Timothy Daunt for guidance on the Gallipoli campaign, and to Patricia Daunt, who walks in Gertrude’s footsteps through the wilderness of sites she studied and loved in Anatolia.
Gwen Howell read every chapter as it was written, made salient comments, and found texts that had escaped professional researchers. Tom Buhler put at our disposal his grasp of the book-writing process at all stages, and developed the character of the book from the beginning. Charlotte Stafford’s comprehensive understanding of book image also guided us from the first. Daniel Bailey contributed to our original conversations about the idea of a book on Gertrude, and has helped us with two years of encouragement, besides answering our occasional questions about military rank and practice. Alice Whittley has shown an enthusiastic interest and offered ideas throughout.
Gertrude’s critics are quick to question her democratic credentials. We hope we confound them, but her attachment to the campaign against votes for women is hard to fathom some hundred years later. On both subjects, Joanna Morritt gave us well chosen texts.
Paul Miles placed Gertrude’s Yorkshire garden schemes in the context of post-Victorian design, and explained the myth and legend of the mandrake.
