Frances Spalding began writing on British art early in her career and rapidly became of leading voice in this field, writing extensively in newspapers, magazines and exhibition catalogues on this subject before publishing British Art since 1900, the first overview of twentieth-century British art which has been widely used in schools, colleges, and universities. She went to achieve renown as a biographer, with lives of Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, John Minton, Duncan Grant, Gwen Raverat, and of the poet Stevie Smith. She has also written a centenary history of the Tate and an introduction to Bloomsbury in the National Portrait Gallery's 'Insight' series. She is a popular speaker at festivals and other events.
