Talk by Lady Violet Bonham Carter
Some of the finest spirits of the late Victorian and early Edwardian days were to be found among the group of friends who were nicknamed ' The Souls.' Most of them were distinguished men and women in public life-the group centred around Arthur Balfour. In this talk Lady Violet Bonham Carter , whose step-mother Lady Oxford was a member of ' The Souls,' recalls her memories of them as a circle of brilliant, gay friends. loyal in affection and unrivalled as conversationalists. She describes a society whose light was extinguished when the first World War brought an end to an era marked by intellectual and social brilliance
