Sproles (English, James Madison U.) discusses the relationship between Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West as reciprocal, in opposition to previous ideas that Woolf influenced Sackville-West's works, examining their work in that context and how it was a way for them to express their desires. She argues that Woolf's Orlando is an example of this, as well as considering their use of biography as a way to create history for women writers, and examining sexuality in their love letters.
