Bloomsbury's prophet
'Bloomsbury Women - Distinct Figures in Life and Art' by Jan Marsh
3 stars/ 6 out of 10
This is a re-publication by Endeavour Press, with the original edition having been published by Pavilion Books in 1995.
I was interested in reading this book, since I have recently been reading about Vita Sackville-West.
Although the book is entitled 'Bloomsbury Women', it also contains a lot of information about 'Bloomsbury Men', with all of their stories intertwined.. I would have preferred there to have been more of a specific concentration on each of the 4 women of the cover photograph.
I very much enjoyed the Foreward by Frances Partridge. There is plenty of information in this book, and some new things to learn relating to many aspects of the Bloomsbury Set's lives. The most interesting section for me was about Dora Carrington. I was interested in the section relating to Katherine Mansfield, who, according to this book, had a better relationship with Virginia Woolf than I had previously understood.
The book is dated in some ways in the language it uses, and I wish that there had been detailed reference notes. However, it is well worth a read, and I am glad that, by being republished, it is available to a new audience.
Thank you to Endeavour Press and to NetGalley for an ARC.
