The Handbook to the Bloomsbury Group is the most comprehensive available survey of contemporary scholarship on the Bloomsbury Group - the set of influential writers, artists and thinkers whose members included Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf, E.M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes, Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell, Duncan Grant and David Garnett. With chapters written by world leading scholars in the field, the book explores novel avenues of thinking about these pivotal figures and their works opened up by the new modernist studies. It brings together overview essays with detailed illustrative case studies, and covers topics as diverse as feminism, sexuality, empire, philosophy, class, nature and the arts. Setting the agenda for future study of Bloomsbury, this is an essential resource for scholars of 20th-century modernist culture.

Media Reviews
A dense and detailed examination of the interactions, writings, behaviors, and influences of this diverse and eclectic group of individuals on both their own time period and succeeding generations. * Bradford Lee Eden, American Reference Books Annual *
This does everything a handbook ought to do, and much more. While providing its readers with an unsurpassed panorama of perspectives on that elusive term 'Bloomsbury', its innovative pairing of overview chapters with focused case studies animates a scholarly conversation which is as vibrant and diverse as Bloomsbury itself. * Bryony Randall, Senior Lecturer in English Literature, University of Glasgow, UK *
