[Vwoolf] New Book on Bloomsbury Review fr UK Guardian

Tue Jan 6 03:27:54 EST 2015

‘By the mid-Victorian years, Bloomsbury had become home to exactly that "aristocracy of intellect" – barristers, writers and professors of a progressive tint – from which the Stephen girls derived their cultural confidence, not to mention the money to pay the rent on 46 Gordon Square. By moving to Bloomsbury they were not so much striking out as coming home.’

Journalistic tosh!  None of it “follows”.

By the way, don’t be misled in a Woolfian sense: there are only 5 brief refs to VW in the book.
