The Bloomsbury Group was an informal group of writers, intellectuals and artists associated with the Bloomsbury district of London during the first half of the 20th century. Among its better known members were Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, & John Maynard Keynes, whose work has profoundly influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics to this day. Good company to be around, we think!
