Aspects of Bloomsbury: Studies in Modern English Literary and Intellectual History

by S. Rosenbaum

Overview

The Bloomsbury Group--its individuals, culture, and unique place in literary and social history--continues to fascinate, inspiring a continuous stream of biographies and criticism. This volume brings together eight key essays by S.P. Rosenbaum, whose own work on Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group is widely acclaimed. Subjects covered range from an analysis of the philosophical assumptions underlying Woolf's fiction, an assessment of J.M. Keynes's account of D. H. Lawrence's reaction to Cambridge to the significance of Leonard and Virginia Woolf's work as printers and publishers with the Hogarth Press. Aspects of Bloomsbury offers readers representative insights into the diverse literary and intellectual world of the Bloomsbury Group.

Editorial Reviews

Rosenbaum takes "Wittgenstein's "fundamental notion of overlapping and criss-crossing similarities" as the basis for his conception of Bloomsbury's literary history and makes this volume its elegant instance. University of Toronto Quarterly
