Georgian Bloomsbury Summary

Georgian Bloomsbury: Volume 3: The Early Literary History of the Bloomsbury Group, 19101914 by S. Rosenbaum

Georgian Bloomsbury completes the literary history of Old Bloomsbury that began with Victorian Bloomsbury (1987) and continued with Edwardian Bloomsbury (1994).

Georgian Bloomsbury Reviews

Reviews of Victorian Bloomsbury

'A subtle and powerful picture of the Bloomsbury group, showing clearly what has been vague - their beginnings in the Victorian era before 'human characters changed' (as Virginia Woolf said). S.P. Rosenbaum is an unparalleled interpreter of the philosophical as well as literary tradition absorbed by this group.' - Richard Ellman

'Professor Rosenbaum has written a wonderful account of the ideas and people who were the early influences on the Bloomsbury Group... This book will be of interest not only to anyone fascinated by the Bloomsbury Group, but also to students of Woolf or Forster or Keynes or Strachey who need to know the background of these writers'. - Carolyn Heilbrun

'Rosenbaum's main purpose is to trace the ancestry and emergence of Bloomsbury's literary forms. Treating the group as a whole, he aggregates and analyses a body of information on their families and houses, on Cambridge literary and philosophical education, and on their early writings. It is a thorough and useful study.' - Raymond Williams

Reviews of Edwardian Bloomsbury

'If you want to deconstruct Bloomsbury, this is not the book for you; but if you want Bloomsbury consolidated, you can't do with it ... Rosenbaum is providing an impressively thorough and reliable map of the group development and achievements.' - Hermione Lee

'What impresses is not only the plethora of texts that Rosenbaum confronts but also his combination of broad perspectives with telling detail... Edwardian Bloomsbury is a significant work, authoritative and original, whose massive scholarship will fertilize discussion for many years to come.' - Frances Spalding

'This is the second volume of a formidable enterprise, and part of a series of publications by the same author that may entitle him to the position as the leading scholar of the Bloomsbury Group.. The greatest contribution that this study makes is in its splendid discussion fo the comparatively unknown writings of Bloomsbury, the short works, mostly essays and reviews, that Bloomsbury wrote in its apprenticeship...(Georgian Bloomsbury) is eagerly awaited.' - Peter Stansky
