	Tennant Floor
		Tennant became interested in music at an early age; he played guitar and cello and began his professional music career in 1970, at the age of 16, in a band called ''Dust''.
		Tennant is best known for his discovery of the elements iridium and osmium, which he found in the residues from the solution of platinum ores in 1804.
		The Honourable Stephen Tennant was born in England, the youngest son of a Scots peer, Lord Glenconner, and the former Pamela Wyndham, one of The Souls.

	English boys' clothes during the 1900s
		Stephen was the model for the main character in Nancy Mitford novel, Love in a Cold Climate.
		Stephen biographer reports that as a boy he had long blond hair and was dressed by Pamela in fussy dresses until he was 8 years old.
		Stephen as an adult was great friends with Rex Whistler (painter) who he met while studing drawing at an art institute in London and Cecil Beaton, who became the premier English upperclass photographer.

		Stephen said that' s what you should aspire to, the story of your life should be the pursuit of serious pleasure.
		There' s a period of Stephen' s life from age twenty-four to twenty-eight, that I thought was really fascinating, where he, for vague reasons, I mean instability and lost love--it' s only conjecture really--he essentially took to his bed for four years, which I always sort of admire (laughs).
		This photo is just so beautiful and it' s just Stephen in bed, and it' s difficult to describe, but it' s just very haunting, and I think he' s about, well he' s in his mid-twenties when it was taken.

	Siegfried Sassoon
		In the end, the narcissistic and consumptive Tennant seems to have decided that having "Sieg" on the premises, where he antagonised the nursing staff and barred the door to callers, was making him worse.
		Tennant repeatedly told him to modernize his verse, but Sassoon could never do so, nor understand why he was not appointed to the Order of Merit alongside Eliot.
		The relationship with Tennant, which appears to have produced in Sassoon a revulsion against his homosexuality, appears to be the most obvious example of this.

	From bohemia to a life of nobility - www.smh.com.au
		Tennant arrived in a fluster of noise accompanied by a rather showy woman.
		Tennant was likewise drawn to Virginia's shy beauty, her heart-shaped face, half covered by her long hair.
		Though Tennant took her on a cruise to Madeira, and drove her to Positano, they were always separately quartered.

	Philip Hoare
		But the idea that Stephen was living in the neighbouring county to me, and that he was still alive when I started to write about him, suddenly brought to life the contrast in myself between my deeply suburban background and that fantasy world I had aspired to.
		Stephen really had been a Bright Young Thing; and he had looked like David Bowie in 1927 - wearing gold dust in his hair and that extraordinary leather coat with the chinchilla fur collar - an alien in Mayfair.
		It was as though, in his descriptions of high aesthetic languour and luxury, Hoare had been establishing one half of a moral equation, the concluding formulae of which, in 'Wilde's Last Stand', described social neurasthenia, cultural claustrophobia and the road to total war.

		However Stephen retains a voice of his own; his ebb and flow of the battle scenes are well written and his grasp of the mundane is where Stephen really shines, making Blaydar's Children a treat to read.
		Luckily, Tennant is such a good writer the book doesn't come across as a pastiche, but the work of a new author still developing his own voice.
		Stephen Tennant is major new talent, whose work should appeal across the board, not just to genre fans, but to all lovers of exciting adventure fiction.

	In July 1927, Cecil Beaton photographed the Honourable Stephen Tennant on the occasion of his twenty-first birthday
		Like Dorian's portrait, Stephen's photograph haunted him, as it did me. It still speaks over the decades, invisibly describing a leyline of dandyism and soldiery: an esoteric, non-genealogical lineage of influence and attraction, a paradoxical tension between the aesthetic and the martial, the fey and the drilled, the frankly decadent and the patriotically utilitarian.
		Even as Tennant was fixing his clear blue eyes on Beaton's lens, the young actor and playwright, Noel Coward, was exhibiting a certain military fetish.
		Luchino Visconti, born in 1906, the same year as Stephen Tennant, was fascinated by the politics of uniform and power from an early age.

		Then Sassoon fell in love with the artistocratic aesthete Stephen Tennant, who led him into his group of Bright Young Things who inspired the early novels of Evelyn Waugh.
		At the demise of his passionate and fraught relationship with Tennant, Sassoon suddenly married the beautiful Hester Gatty in 1933 and retreated to a quiet country life until their eventual estrangement and Sassoon's subsequent conversion to Catholicism.
		From his famous war poems to the gentler vision of his prose, Sassoon wrote masterfully of war and lost idylls, and this work and its complex author are brilliantly illuminated in Max Egremont's definitive biography.

		A cold side of Tennant, however, is revealed in his cruel break with his lover, poet Siegfried Sassoon, who never recovered from the rejection.
		Of equal interest are the author's discussions of Tennant's social milieu and the many artists and writers he knew.
		Tennant seems to have had a modicum of literary and artistic talent (he studied at the Slade), but could never bring it to fruition.

	boy's experiences with dresses and curls
		It was a heady legacy for Stephen to inherit, but one which was all too soon to be violently curtailed by the events of 1914-18.
		Stephen grew long-limbed and tall, despite the apparent sickliness that had been present from birth.
		Stephen was a pageboy at her wedding to the son of Lord Glenconner's best friend, General Arthur Wolfe Murray, to whom he left a bequest in his will.

	Photo of Lt. The Hon. Edward Wyndham Tennant
		On your site I discovered the wonderful sketch of Edward Wyndham Tennant by JSS and vowed to locate a copy of the memoir his mother Pamela, Lady Glenconner wrote after his tragic death in WWI.
		The book is very sweet and you can almost feel Lady Glenconner's pain as she recalls Bim's childhood and his final days on the battlefield.
		Currently, I am reading a book about Bim's brother Stephen Tennant called "Serious Pleasures" supposedly Stephen was the beauty of the family but I disagree...he was very effeminate and terribly spoiled whereas Bim was elegant but also masculine and very much beloved by all who knew him during his short life.

	The battle for the memory of Iris Murdoch Independent on Sunday, The - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In Murdoch's case, however, I can't help but recall my own potent memory - common to many who attended literary launches in the Eighties and Nineties - of Bayley with the senile novelist in tow; a shuffling, ghostly figure whose presence at parties always seemed, to me at least, to be an uncomfortable one.
		Bright Young Things, Stephen Fry's directorial debut, which opens in October, is based on Evelyn Waugh's satire of 1930, Vile Bodies.
		The more fastidious might balk at hearing the Master's "Nina", not composed until 1944, and historians of hedonism take issue with the sight of everyone from Harriet Walter to Sir John Mills snorting cocaine through gold tubes and cigarette holders - the Twenties method was to use a tiny silver spoon, darling.

		The gay eccentric Stephen Tennant was a cousin, and contemporary actress Helena Bonham Carter is his great-niece.
		Although his films are almost exclusively concerned with heterosexual subjects, some critics, particularly Stephen Bourne, argue that they are permeated with a gay sensibility.

	The Memoirs of George Sherston. : SASSOON, (Siegfried).
		The sisters Beryl and Eileen Hunter were gardeners on Stephen Tennant's Wilsford estate, but were clearly well-bred gels, who in their letters used the language of the dorm rather than the potting shed - things were "rotten", "top-hole" "topping" or "beastly".
		They played an important role as go-betweens during the dying years of the love affair between the impossibly louche Tennant and Sassoon.
		For Sassoon the affair was the painful sum of all his life's paradoxes, and the help of this horsey, intelligent, well read, well intentioned and non judgmental pair went a long way to easing the pain of those difficult years.
