From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julian Heward Bell (4 February 1908 – 18 July 1937) was an English poet, and the son of Clive and Vanessa Bell (who was the elder sister of Virginia Woolf). The writer Quentin Bell was his younger brother, and the writer and painter Angelica Garnett is his half-sister. His relationship with his mother is explored in Susan Sellers' novel Vanessa and Virginia.

He was brought up mainly at Charleston, Sussex. He was educated at Leighton Park School and King's College, Cambridge, where he joined the Cambridge Apostles. He was a friend of some of the Cambridge Five, and sometimes claimed as Anthony Blunt's lover. (As such, he appears in the BBC dramatisation Cambridge Spies.) After graduating he worked towards a college fellowship, without success.

In 1935 he went to China, to a position teaching English at Wuhan University. He wrote letters describing his relationship with a married lover, K.; the identity of this woman became a sensitive issue when the Chinese-British novelist Hong Ying published a fictionalised account, K: The Art of Love in 1999. After a 2002 ruling by a Chinese court that the book was 'defamation of the dead', the author rewrote the book, which was published in 2003 under the title The English Lover.

In 1937 Bell took part in the Spanish Civil War, as an ambulance driver on the Republican side. He was killed in the battle at Brunete, aged 29.

Quentin Bell's son, Julian's nephew, is also named Julian Bell. He is the author of "Mirror of the World: A New History of Art" (2007).

虹影小说《英国情人》(或《K》)中所附

K给朱利安·贝尔的诗

古琴台——惊闻你有L后

“他带我去跑马场。”

那个英国女子很漂亮

好像心也不错。

古琴台只我一人，

我是那遥远时代的弹琴人，

而你听不到。

听到你也不明白：

东方音乐讲的是单调的韵味

寒风迫使我下山，

下山是我惟一的路。

这诗把K的伤心和理性同时展现出来。正因为她的理性，我们更爱K。
