About the Book

Because whenever they wrote the members of Bloomsbury tried to write well, there is an abundant variety of illuminating and delightful reading to be found in the short prose works of the Group's novelists, biographers, critics, and even political economists. In A Bloomsbury Group Reader Professor Rosenbaum offers a representative selection of such writings by Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Roger Fry, Desmond MacCarthy, Clive Bell, Leonard Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, and Vanessa Bell. His focus in this selection is not upon the lives of the Group but upon what finally must justify our interest in them: their work, in this instance, as writers.

Review :
"How I wish that I had had this book in spring semester of 1968 when I taught a course on the Bloomsbury Group at Creighton University in Omaha or may times since then when I've taught seminars on Virginia Woolf at Doane." Evelyn Harris Haller, Doane College "In this stunning new collection, S. P. Rosenbaum has given us a rich selection of the group's own writings, brilliant pieces standing on their own, frequently hard to find, that demonstrate the wide range of topics, personalities, interests, written about with great wit and insight, that make Bloomsbury of such lasting fascination. It would be hard to imagine a better way to become acquainted with the group and for those who know it already to reread some favourite essays and to make new discoveries." Peter Stansky, Stanford University "Will long be a standard anthology, I've no doubt, for both students and general readers." English "Deserves a home in most literature collections." Book Review Digest "This is an excellent selection. As a compendium of the shorter writings of the Bloomsbury Group it could scarcely have been bettered."Chris Ackerley, Journal of the Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association
