Synopsis "In and out of Bloomsbury: Biographical Essays on Twentieth-Century Writers and Artists"
This volume presents new and little-known texts and images of pivotal members of the Bloomsbury group – the artists Roger Fry and Vanessa Bell, the art critic Clive Bell (Vanessa’s husband), and the writer Virginia Woolf (Vanessa’s younger sister). The essays supplementing existing accounts, and also correct misreadings and misidentifications but they also range much wider than that. The move out of Bloomsbury begins with Rose Macaulay, whose father, like Rupert Brooke’s, was a master at Rugby School. Further essays cover: the teenage years of another alumna of Somerville College, Dorothy L. Sayers, detective-novelist, religious writer, and translator of Dante; the first detailed study of the life of Richard (“Dickie”) Williams Reynolds, close friend of Edith Nesbit and teacher of J. R. R. Tolkien; and Tristram Hillier, who made a distinctive and distinguished contribution to twentieth-century British art in the early 1930s.
