Bloomsbury Women: Distinct Figures in Life and Art

The world of Bloomsbury is one of pictures and people; it is an artistic and literary style, and also a group of original and creative individuals whose lives have long fascinated the public imagination. Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Dora Carrington, Vita Sackville-West, Lydia Lopokova, Katherine Mansfield, Frances Partridge, Angelica Garnett: many exceptional women were associated with Bloomsbury. Their writings, letters, diaries, and memoirs provide vivid accounts of friendship, love, art, jealousy, suicide, gossip, and day-to-day affairs over forty years. The men, too, were exceptional artists and writers whose works and words intimately depict Bloomsbury women. This book traces the Bloomsbury group from its beginnings in the early years of the twentieth century to the old age of its founders and the legacy that lives on, and Jan Marsh brings a new approach to the group and its female protagonists. Illustrated throughout with color and black-and-white archive material, Bloomsbury Women presents portrait studies, decorative images, line drawings, and photographs that compliment the textual narratives of the lives, loves, art, and ideas of an extraordinary group of friends.
