New Approaches to Art, Literature, Sexuality, and Society in Bloomsbury
The members of the Bloomsbury Group, active in England in the first quarter of the 20th century, explored alternative ways of living and advanced fresh ideas in the arts and social sciences. Their shared spirit of collaboration, community, and inquiry spurred the creation of works as diverse as Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway , J.M. Keynes's General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money , and Roger Fry's study of Cezanne. This exhibit features books and manuscripts from the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library that showcase the work of the Group's members. Among the items in the exhibit are books printed at the Hogarth Press, created and operated by Woolf with her husband Leonard.
This exhibition was sponsored in part by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
The online exhibit is no longer available, but an archived version can be viewed at the Internet Archive.
