Gerald Brenan led a life studded with adventure. He was drawn to the 1920s underworld - both in London and Seville - of prostitutes, flamenco singers and the poor. He was anguished about his sexuality, and his love-affair with Dora Carrington (companion to Lytton Strachey) was both ecstatic and tormented. But it was the Spanish Civil War and marriage to the poetess, Gamel Woolsey, that produced his most celebrated books, including "The Spanish Labyrinth" and "South From Granada". Bernard knew some of the most brilliant people of his time, including Augustus John, Roger Fry, Bertrand Russell, Cyril Connolly, David Garnett, V.S. Pritchett, Lorca, e.e. cummings and Bloomsbury.
