Bloomsbury and France : art and friends

"My lifelong devotion to Bloomsbury has been to Bloomsbury in England. Here, to my delight, I find all there is to know about Bloomsbury in France. This is an original, readable, and compelling account of Bloomsbury across the channel. A book not to be missed."--Carolyn Heilbrun, Professor Emerita, Columbia University, and author of Writing a Woman's Life"This is an original and excellent idea--to link Bloomsbury to France. For although every memoir and biography of members of this famous group of friends mentions their frequent excursions to France, this is the first time that a proper emphasis has been given to their delight in French civilization and culture. For all of them, France was their second country. They were drawn to it as if by a magnet, and its influence on Bloomsbury literature and art deserved to be celebrated, as it has been in this magnificent book."--Nigel Nicolson, Editor, Letters of Virginia Woolf "My lifelong devotion to Bloomsbury has been to Bloomsbury in England.
