Offering insights into the women in the Bloomsbury Group of writers and artists, this book is illustrated with archive photographs and reproductions of Bloomsbury art. It traces the group from its beginnings in the early years of the century to the old age of its founders and the legacy that lives on. The world of Bloomsbury is an artistic and literary style, and also a group of creative individuals, including Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Dora Carrington, Vita Sackville-West, Lydia Lopokova, Katherine Mansfield and Angelica Garnett. The women's writings, letters, diaries and memoirs provide vivid accounts of friendship, love, art, jealousy, suicide, gossip and day-to-day affairs over 40 years. The book presents a collection of portrait studies, decorative images, line drawings and photographs which complement the textual narrative of the lives and loves, art and ideas of an extraordinary group of friends.
