Jenni Bowley writes about why she finds the Bloomsbury Group so interesting:<\/p>\n

\"Lytton<\/a>

Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf<\/p><\/div>\n

The Bloomsbury Group are often referred to as an artistic and intellectual circle who lived in squares and loved in triangles.\u00a0 In the early 20th<\/sup> Century, Bloomsbury was a relatively unfashionable district that has become known for this group of writers, artists, intellectuals and political thinkers.\u00a0 Maybe they should be referred to as the \u201cMarmite Group\u201d \u2013 people seem to either love them or hate them!\u00a0 That was true in their own time, when they were described by DH Lawrence as a \u201chorror of little swarming selves\u201d and it\u2019s still true today when the focus is on their unconventional behaviour and complicated love-lives.\u00a0 Whatever you may think of their personal lives, I think that their contribution is in danger of being under-rated: Roger Fry introduced the Post-Impressionists (Van Gogh, Matisse, Picasso and others) to a suspicious art world and made them popular; John Maynard Keynes changed economic thinking and Virginia Woolf changed the novel.\u00a0 On Sunday afternoon I\u2019ll be walking around the Bloomsbury Squares and piecing together the complex world of the Bloomsbury Group and their contemporaries.<\/p>\n

Jenni’s walk is on Sunday 13th\u00a0 October at 2pm, details here <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
