Bloomsbury Group Reader by S. P. Rosenbaum

Bloomsbury

by S.P. Rosenbaum

Because whenever they wrote the members of Bloomsbury tried to write well, there is an abundant variety of illuminating and delightful reading to be found in the short prose works of the Group's novelists, biographers, critics, and even political economists. In A Bloomsbury Group Reader Professor Rosenbaum offers a representative selection of such writings by Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Roger Fry, Desmond MacCarthy, Clive Bell, Leonard Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, and Vanessa Bell. His focus in this selection is not upon the lives of the Group but upon what finally must justify our interest in their work, in this instance, as writers.

[Richard B · Rating 3 out of 5]

Whilst considered read, it wasn't read cover to cover, but I got through a lot of this one as part of the Bloomsbury group course. This book is a treasure trove of Bloomsbury material. Fiction, essays, political theory, biography, it is all included. For anyone invested in this incredible group of people this is definitely a good place to start with exploring their lives.

The ULTIMATE collection of inspiring essays on art and being alive---that I have EVER come across. A gold mine!!! A crystal cave, a rare bookshop left unlocked and abandoned, a smogasbord.
