Rezensionen

"Virginia Woolf's Bloomsbury,Volume 2: International Influence and Politics is well worth the wait-indeed, as rich as the first collection was, this one, though shorter, is equally so, but also more unified and polished. ... The collection presents a nexus of thinking and work across time and topics. With politics as the strand that runs through the book, we have here a rich exploration of essays on aesthetics, war, economics, the Hogarth Press, and globalization." (Jeanne Dubino, Virginia Woolf Miscellany, Issue 94, 2018)

'The openness is generous, and reveals how research ought to be: curious, unafraid to get jammed, thinking its way around obstacles, serendipitous. This is criticism as exploration, undaunted and exhilarating." - Jim Stewart, TLS
