[Vwoolf] Simon Heffer bashes Woolf and Bloomsbury yet again!

[Graham Borland]

It’s almost impressive how little the author manages to actually say in
praise of Bennett’s work; he seems rather more consumed with the task of
rejecting some image of Woolf and Bloomsbury than getting people to read
neglected literature.

Really does lay bare how the “Bloomsbury Set” plays a very strange role in
the imaginary of a certain kind of Tory commentariat; they simultaneously
represent a kind of uncouth class excess (the “snobbish” avant-garde) and a
kind of class betrayal (“hand-to-mouth genteel”).
