Memorable Quotations: The Bloomsbury Group

The Bloomsbury Group or Bloomsbury Set was a clique of writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists who held casual discussions. This English group of friends and relatives lived, worked or studied near Bloomsbury in London during the first half of the twentieth century. Although its participants denied being a group in any official sense, they were bonded by a steadfast belief in the value of the arts. Their work profoundly influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics as well as modern opinions towards feminism, pacifism, and sexuality. Included in this book are five famous members of the illustrious Bloomsbury Group: E. M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes, Vita Sackville-West, Lytton Strachey, and Virginia Woolf.
