The loving friends: A portrait of Bloomsbury

David Gadd sorts out the legends about the Bloomsbury Group--who they were, what they believed in, what influences they had on art and literature, and what became of them. The group was brought together by friendship and mutual understanding rather than a common outlook. They also shared the tendency to apply reason to every aspect of life. If they thought the rules were stupid, they broke them. It is this practice that earned them the reputation of being immoral. Gadd documents the temperment and genius of thje individual personalities, their complex relationships, and their affairs.
