In the recent biography of Vaughan Williams by Keith Alldritt he mentions that Glanville-Hicks and Vaughan Williams met on a summer visit to Majorca: Glanville-Hicks phoned Vaughan Williams and his wife Ursula and invited them to lunch with Robert Graves. This was in 1956, when she was collaborating with Graves and Alastair Reid on her opera Nausicaa. Alldritt then identifies Glanville-Hicks as a critic on the New York Herald Tribune (although she had left the paper the year before) and describes her as “an ebullient Australian who often dressed as a man”.
