A small group of literary folk and their artistic friends who. during the earlier part of this century met regularly in each other's houses and when parted, however fteeHngly. wrote to each other, has retained a curiously strong hold on the imagination of the culturally inclined. A flourishing industry has grown up around their memory. Books by them have been far outnumbered by books about them, but they are celebrated, it might be supposed, as much for their style of living as for their creative skills. What is the allure of the Bloomsbury Group? Is their literary, artistic and historical significance overrated? Is the glamour of their social life a myth? Frances Donnelly asks the questions and the answers are supplied by Quentin Bell.
