Background
Julian Heward Bell was born in St Pancras, London, and was brought up 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, including Anthony Blunt, to whom he lost his virginity.WEB,weblink JULIAN BELL BY VANESSA BELL, Charleston: The Bloomsbury Home of Art and Ideas, 10 April 2020, Julian felt no qualms in telling his mother of his first sexual experience in a letter of 1929, âMy great news is about Ant[h]ony. I feel certain you wonât be upset or shaked at my telling you that we sleep together., 10 April 2020,weblink dead, (In the BBC dramatisation Cambridge Spies he appears as Blunt's lover and Guy Burgess's unrequited love interest). 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. - Ling Shuhua, the wife of Professor Chen Yuan (better known by his penname, Chen Xiying). The identity of 'K' 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.Bell was initially a pacifist and edited an anthology of memoirs of conscientious objectors from the First World War, We Did Not Fight.Peter Brock, Harvey Leonard Dyck, The Pacifist Impulse in Historical Perspective. Toronto; University of Toronto Press, 1996 {{ISBN|0802007775}} (p. 360)In 1937, Bell became increasingly supportive of the socialist and anti-fascist movements and decided to enlist in the Spanish Civil War.Linda Palfreeman, Salud!: British Volunteers in the Republican Medical Service During the Spanish Civil War, 1936â1939Sussex Academic Press, 2012 {{ISBN|1845195191}} (pp. 270â1) His parents and his aunt Virginia tried to dissuade him; eventually they persuaded Julian to get a job as an ambulance driver on the Republican side, rather than a soldier. His motive for going to Spain was a general sympathy for the cause of the Spanish Republic, plus "the usefulness of war experience in the future and the prestige one would gain in literature and â even more â Left politics".Hugh Thomas: "The Spanish Civil War", London 1974, p. 590 n.2. After just a month in Spain he found himself in the thick of the action, driving an ambulance for the British Medical Unit attached to the International Brigades at the battle of Brunete. He was hit by bomb fragments on a stretch of road just outside Villanueva de la Cañada, sustaining a massive lung wound, and later died in a military hospital at El Escorial. He was 29.WEB,weblink Bloomsbury's Lost Poet: Julian Bell in Madrid, by Dr Caroline Potter, 2018-05-08, 8 May 2018,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20180508185752weblink">weblink dead,Works
