These groundbreaking essays shed new light on Virginia Woolf and a diverse range of twentieth-century writers and artists. Through extensive research and the presentation of previously unpublished texts, images, and photographs, they represent remarkable feats of scholarly detective work.
Six of these essays specifically delve into the lives and contributions of four pivotal members of the Bloomsbury Group: Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell, and Roger Fry. These essays explore various aspects of their lives, including their artistic endeavors, writing, friendships, love relationships, sexual experiences, mental health challenges, and their travels to Greece.
The remaining five essays in the collection take a broader perspective, exploring topics such as the "new letters" written by novelist Rose Macaulay to Irish poet Katharine Tynan, the remarkable talents of Dorothy L. Sayers as a teenager, the story of Tolkien's schoolmaster R. W. Reynolds, and the artistic journey of Tristram Hillier in Portugal.
Together, these essays paint a vibrant and diverse portrait of British culture during the first half of the twentieth century. The collection is a testament to the depth and richness of the literary and artistic movements of that era.
Notably, this collection has been longlisted for the prestigious William M.B. Berger Prize for British Art History 2022, recognizing its significant contributions to the field of art history.
