The Bloomsbury Group has long preoccupied writers, critics and the general public alike, and for many years Charleston in Sussex, the home of artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, was its focal point. This book contains a compilation of articles originally commissioned for The Charleston Newsletter, and offers an evocation of the extraordinary creative atmosphere that prevailed at Charleston and in Bloomsbury. The book contains personal reminiscences by the Bloomsbury Group's major figures and contributions by Michael Holroyd, Quentin Bell, Asa Briggs, Margaret Drabble, Robert Skidelksy, Nigel Nicolson and others.
