She has had one-man shows in London, Washington and Brussels, and has also designed productions for the National Theatre and other West End theatres. Her first book, The Life and Loves of Violet Gordon Woodhouse, the acclaimed biography of the musician Violet Gordon Woodhouse, appeared in 1996 and was nominated for a Whitbread prize. This, her fourth book, is on some ways a sequel, adding a new dimension to our understanding of the Arts & Crafts movement. Jessica Douglas-Home is also the author of A Glimpse of Empire and Once Upon Another Time, a book about her travels behind the Iron Curtain. She has written for The Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian, Standpoint, The Spectator, The Times Literary Supplement and The New Criterion.view less
