Lived 1894 – 1974 (aged 79–80). Valentine Dobrée was a British painter, poet and novelist.
Involvement with Bloomsbury Group
Dobrée was vivacious, voluptuous and unstable and, as she encountered members of the Bloomsbury Group, some Bloomsberries became particularly attracted to her. Dobrée told Ralph that while he and his wife had been staying at the Dobrées' house in the Pyrenees, she had agreed to distract him so Carrington could be alone with Brenan. Partridge became enraged with his wife when she initially denied the story – he regarded her deceit as more shameful than his infidelity.
