Produktbeschreibung
Old Bloomsbury still survives. If you seek proof
look around Virginia Woolf. The myth of
Bloomsbury can be traced back to the early twentieth
century, and one cannot claim that its influence has
ever completely perished. Bloomsbury was a group of
young men and women who, through their individual
capacities and joint efforts, worked to reform the
British culture which they felt had become rather
moribund. The artists within the group introduced
art of a more abstract nature, and their endeavours
were unsurprisingly tested by harsh criticism.
Concomitantly, the writers of the group, mainly
Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf, were facing
their own ordeals as they gallantly attempted to
alter the even more hostile domains of biography
and fiction. The Bloomsbury legacy survives till
this very day, for not only have we inherited their
unparalleled literature and art, their unique
theories, and their many letters and diaries, but we
are, to some extent, heirs to a freer lifestyle that
Bloomsbury itself promoted.
