Clive Bell was a pivotal member of the Bloomsbury Group. His marriage to
Vanessa Bell and his, at times tempestuous, relations with his
sister-in-law Virginia Woolf form important strands in the cultural history
of modernism. A tireless champion of modernist art, a committed pacifist
and conscientious objector, Bell produced a huge body of correspondence
with many of the leading artistic and political figures of his time. His
lively, witty, highly opinionated letters are a window into the turbulence
of the early twentieth century, populated by friends and acquaintances
including T. S. Eliot, Katherine Mansfield, Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau,
as well as his Bloomsbury friends, Desmond MacCarthy, Leonard and Virginia
Woolf, Duncan Grant, Maynard Keynes, Roger Fry and Vanessa Bell. Arranged
in eight categories – Bloomsbury Circles; Virginia; War; Arts and Letters;
To the Editor; Francophile; Travels; Love, Gossip, Home – this selection
emphasises Bell’s enormously varied life and interests. Born in the reign
of Queen Victoria and living long enough to have been able to hear the
Beatles on the radio, these letters demonstrate that Bell’s appetite for
art, for love and for peace never flagged.
