Features: The famous Bloomsbury Group was a world-influential elite salon in the British art world of the 20th century, composed of a large number of talented and thoughtful individuals who were highly charming and worth studying. The core members include: writer Virginia Woolf, writer Leonard Woolf (Virginia's husband), artist Vanessa Bell, art critic Clive Bell (Vanessa's husband), biographer Lytton Strachey, literary critic Desmond McCarthy, economist John Maynard Keynes, painter Duncan Grant, art critic Roger Fry, and writer E.M. Forster, among others. In addition, philosophers Bertrand Russell, poet T.S. Eliot, novelist Henry James, and Aldous Huxley were also closely associated with the Bloomsbury Group members. Most of these "European golden brains" were outstanding students of Cambridge University. This book recounts the lives and works of the Bloomsbury Group members, based on the recollections and comments of 12 founding members about the group. It is translated from the revised edition of the book, which has added considerable new materials and a new chronology.
