The Handbook to the Bloomsbury Group is the most comprehensive
available survey of contemporary scholarship on the Bloomsbury Group -
the set of influential writers, artists and thinkers whose members
included Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf, E.M. Forster, John Maynard
Keynes, Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell, Duncan Grant and David Garnett. With
chapters written by world leading scholars in the field, the book
explores novel avenues of thinking about these pivotal figures and how
their works are opened up by the new modernist studies. It brings
together overview essays with detailed illustrative case studies, and
covers topics as diverse as feminism, sexuality, empire, philosophy,
class, nature and the arts. Setting the agenda for future study of
Bloomsbury, this is an essential resource for scholars of 20th-century
modernist culture.
