Controversial before the First World War, the Bloomsbury Group became notorious in the 1920s. New members joined their ranks, pushing at boundaries, flouting conventions, and spurring their seniors to new heights of creative activity.

Nino Strachey reveals a vivid history surprisingly relevant to our present day.
