The Bloomsbury Group Memoir Club

About this book

The Bloomsbury Group consisted of socially related English writers and intellectuals. Some of these met secretly, 1919- approximately 1963 as a Memoir Club to read each other personal memoirs. As members died, new ones were enrolled. They included Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Roger Fry, J.M. Keynes, Lytton Strachey, E.M. Forster, Vanessa and Clive Bell, Molly and Desmond MacCarthy and Duncan Grant. S.P. Rosenbaum had already published a collection of much of the surviving memoirs and had begun writing this work, a history and an analysis. Although unfinished, the account of the early years is nearly complete
