The Bloomsbury Group, an exclusive gathering of young intellectuals based in London's Bloomsbury Square during the early 20th century, included writers Virgina Woolf, E.M.Forster and Lytton Strachey; painter Duncan Grant; art critics Clive Bell and Roger Fry; and economist John Maynard Keynes. This annotated bibliography lists, describes and evaluates significant scholarship on these influential thinkers published from 1906 to 1988. Sources represent commentary from numerous disciplines - including literature, art criticism, philosophy, psychology, and political science - and document Bloomsbury's varied contributions to the events of modern British intellectual scene; the post-impressionist art exhibitions of 1910 and 1912; the arts and crafts movement; the establishment of the prestigious Hogarth Press (publisher of Freud's collected works); and the development of the experimental novel, as well as new innovations in biography styles.
