Harold Nicolson

About the Author

Sir Harold George Nicolson (1886-1968) was an English diplomat, author, and politician. His open marriage to the writer Vita Sackville-West was scandalous at the time: both pursued same-sex affairs but remained devoted to each other. He was knighted in 1953. His diaries are a treasure-trove for historians literary and otherwise.
