Bloomsbury and France
"Bloomsbury on the Mediterranean," is how Vanessa Bell described France in a letter to her sister, Virginia Woolf. Remarking on the vivifying effect of Cassis, Woolf herself said, "I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim.... Complete heaven, I think it." Yet until now there has never been a book that focused on the profound influence of France on the Bloomsbury group. In Bloomsbury and France: Art and Friends, Mary Ann Caws and Sarah Bird Wright reveal the crucial importance of the Bloomsbury group's frequent sojourns to France, the artists and writers they met there, and the liberating effect of the country itself. Drawing upon many previously unpublished letters, memoirs, ...
Virginia Woolf
An insightful, witty look at Virginia Woolf through the lens of the extraordinary women closest to her. How did Adeline Virginia Stephen become the great writer Virginia Woolf? Acclaimed biographer Gillian Gill tells the stories of the women whose legacies--of strength, style, and creativity--shaped Woolf's path to the radical writing that inspires so many today. Gill casts back to Woolf's French-Anglo-Indian maternal great-grandmother Th r se de L'Etang, an outsider to English culture whose beauty passed powerfully down the female line; and to Woolf's aunt Anne Thackeray Ritchie, who gave Woolf her first vision of a successful female writer.

The Age of Battles
"One of the most interesting, important, and ambitious books about the conduct, and perhaps the ultimate futility, of war." --Gunther E. Rothenberg " A] highly scholarly and wonderfully absorbing study." --John Bayley, The London Review of Books "What Russell F. Weigley writes, the rest of us read. The Age of Battles is a persuasive reminder that even in the age of 'rational' warfare, one can honestly wonder why war seemed an unavoidable policy choice." --Allan R. Millett, The Journal of American History
Bloomsbury Heritage, Their Mothers and Their Aunts
The Bloomsbury Group represents two successive generations from several distinguished families who were highly influential in British history and culture. Of these ancestors, the feminine members have been comparatively neglected. These women are noteworthy for their creativity and charm. Their influence on their children, and the children of their siblings, is observed in the literary works of the Bloomsbury Group as well as in their political liberalism, their feminism, their unconventionality and their devotion to each other as to members of a clan. This book chronicles the lives of a selection of immediate ancestors of the Bloomsbury Group's members. It shows how the lives and careers of these women and their familities bring the British Empire, especially British India, into the immediate background of the Bloomsbury Group and to help explain the existence of its innermost circle, the Memoir Club.--Book Jacket.
