Partridge, Frances Catherine Marshall

Partridge, Frances Catherine Marshall
▪ 2005

      British biographer and diarist (b. March 15, 1900, London, Eng.—d. Feb. 5, 2004, London), documented her experiences on the edge of the Bloomsbury group; beginning in her late 70s she published two volumes of autobiography and six diaries. She was married (from 1933 until his death in 1960) to Ralph Partridge, the “hopelessly heterosexual” man with whom the noted biographer Lytton Strachey had been in love. When Frances Marshall met her future husband, he was married to the artist Dora Carrington, who was, in turn, in love with Strachey and who committed suicide upon Strachey's death in 1932.
