This book contains photographs of the Bloomsbury group literary society, a group that included many English intelligentsia in the early 20th century. Those pictured include Virginia Woolf, Dora Carrington, John Maynard Keynes, Philip Toynbee, Lytton Strachey, Quentin and Julian Bell, Elizabeth Bowen, E. M. Forster, Aldous Huxley, Robert Kee, and Anthony Powell, among others. The photographs show them in a slightly different light: more relaxed, on vacation, and conversing.
