Georgian Bloomsbury
Work detail
Georgian Bloomsbury completes the literary history of Old Bloomsbury that began with Victorian Bloomsbury (1987) and continued with Edwardian Bloomsbury (1994). Covering the years between the first post-impressionist exhibition and World War I, the book describes and analyzes interrelated literary works by Roger Fry, Desmond MacCarthy, Clive Bell, E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Leonard Woolf and Virginia Woolf. The works considered include fiction, criticism, essays, and polemics as well as autobiography journalism, and literary history that members of the Bloomsbury Group wrote between 1910 to 1940. The history opens with an account of the Bloomsbury Group's literary post-impressionism, continues with an account of E. M. Forster's pre-war Georgian writings, including Maurice, and then discusses Lytton Strachey's history of French Literature. After a chapter on the Bloomsbury Group's Georgian journalism, the literary history of Old Bloomsbury concludes with a discussion of Virginia Woolf's first novel, The Voyage Out, and Leonard Woolf's last novel, The Wise Virgins.
