Note: During long periods, certain people were very close to LW, and part of his life. These are Lytton Strachey (at Cambridge and, through letters, when LW was in Ceylon), his wife Virginia, to a lesser extent his sister-in-law Vanessa Bell and his eight siblings; and from 1942 until his death, Trekkie Parsons. To note every single reference to these is not practicable. Mentions of them outside the times when they were part of his daily life are all noted, and references given for all significant events or communications during the years of maximum involvement.
