At least a dozen or so young women at large in Blitz-era London have a claim to this title. But Lost Girls concentrates on just four: Lys Lubbock, Sonia Brownell, Barbara Skelton and Janetta Parlade. Chic, glamorous and bohemian, as likely to be found living in a rat-haunted maisonette as dining at the Ritz, they cut a swathe through English literary and artistic life in the 1940s. Three of them had affairs with Lucian Freud. One of them married George Orwell. Another became the mistress of the King of Egypt and was flogged by him on the steps of the Royal Palace. And all of them were associated with the decadeâs most celebrated literary magazine, Horizon, and its charismatic editor Cyril Connolly. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 345-371) and index. 600 10 $a Lubbock, Lys. 600 10 $a Brownell, Sonia. 600 10 $a Skelton, Barbara. 600 10 $a Parlade, Janetta. 600 10 $a Woolley, Janetta. 600 10 $a Connolly, Cyril, $d 1903-1974 $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Connolly, Cyril, $d 1903-1974 $x Relations with women. 651 0 $a London (England) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y George VI, 1936-1952. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103023342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9FC8EFE8A55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
