'Entirely original and thrilling . . . this is Gatsby made real'
JULIET NICOLSON 'This witty, fascinating book is a delight. Read
it.' MIRIAM MARGOLYES In the 1920s a new generation stepped forward
to invigorate the Bloomsbury Group - creative young people who
tantalised the original 'Bloomsberries' with their captivating
looks and provocative ideas. Young Bloomsbury introduces us to an
extraordinarily colourful cast of characters, including novelist
and music critic Eddy Sackville-West, 'who wore elaborate make-up
and dressed in satin and black velvet'; sculptor Stephen Tomlin;
and writer Julia Strachey. Talented and productive, these
larger-than-life figures had high-achieving professional lives and
extremely complicated emotional lives. Bloomsbury had always
celebrated sexual equality and freedom in private, feeling that
every person had the right to live and love in the way they chose.
But as transgressive self-expression became more public, this
younger generation gave Old Bloomsbury a new voice. Revealing an
aspect of Bloomsbury history not yet explored, Young Bloomsbury
celebrates an open way of living that would not be embraced for
another hundred years.
