Young Bloomsbury

Autor Nino Strachey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mai 2022
In the 1920s a new generation stepped forward to invigorate the Bloomsbury Group -- creative young people who tantalised the original 'Bloomsberries' with their captivating looks and provocative ideas.

Young Bloomsbury introduces us to an extraordinarily colourful cast of characters, including novelist and music critic Eddy Sackville-West, 'who wore elaborate make-up and dressed in satin and black velvet'; sculptor Stephen Tomlin; and writer Julia Strachey. Talented and productive, these larger-than-life figures had high-achieving professional lives and extremely complicated emotional lives.

Bloomsbury had always celebrated sexual equality and freedom in private, but by the 1920s self-expression was becoming more public, with cross-dressing Young Bloomsbury giving Old Bloomsbury a new voice in a chosen family of a shared rebellion against pre-war conventions.

Notă biografică

After studying at Oxford University and the
Courtauld Institute, Nino Strachey worked as
a curator for the National Trust and English
Heritage. Her first book, Rooms of Their Own,
explored the homes of three writers linked to the
Bloomsbury Group, revealing changing attitudes
towards sexuality and gender in the 1920s
and 30s. Nino is the last member of the Strachey
family to have grown up at Sutton Court in
Somerset, home of the Stracheys for over 300
years. She lives in West London with her husband
and child, surrounded by the displaced portraits
of her Strachey relations. Her relative Lytton was
the first of many Stracheys to make their
way to Bloomsbury. Follow her on Twitter @NinoStrachey.
