Named after a small neighborhood in London where its members
settled as young adults, the Bloomsbury Group produced an
impressive body of work that yielded British Post-Impressionist
painting, literary modernism, the field of macroeconomics, and a
new direction for public taste in art. This Companion offers a
comprehensive guide to the intellectual and social contexts
surrounding Bloomsbury and its coterie, which includes writer
Virginia Woolf, economist Maynard Keynes, and art critic Roger Fry,
among others. Thirteen chapters from leading scholars and critics
explore the Bloomsbury Group's rejection of Victorian values and
social mores, their interventions in issues of empire and
international politics, their innovations in the literary and
visual arts, and more. Complete with a chronology of key events and
a detailed guide to further reading, this Companion provides
scholars and students of English literature with fresh perspectives
on the achievements of this remarkable circle of friends.
