Summary
The Bloomsbury Group gained a controversial reputation before the First World War, but commercial success came only in the 1920s when a group of unorthodox creatives joined their ranks. Who were these younger figures who invigorated the ageing 'Bloomsberries' with their captivating looks and provocative ideas? In Young Bloomsbury, Nino Strachey introduces an extraordinarily colourful cast of Bright Young Things, including novelist Eddy Sackville-West, sculptor Stephen Tomlin, and writer Julia Strachey. Talented, productive and ahead of their time, this younger generation gave Old Bloomsbury a new voice. Revealing an aspect of Bloomsbury history not yet explored, Young Bloomsbury celebrates this transgressive generation and an open way of living that would not be embraced for another hundred years
