Om denne bog

''Entirely original and thrilling . . . this is Gatsby made real'' JULIET NICOLSON
''This witty, fascinating book is a delight. Read it.'' MIRIAM MARGOLYES

In the 1920s a new generation stepped forward to invigorate the Bloomsbury Group - creative young people who tantalised the original ''Bloomsberries'' with their captivating looks and provocative ideas.

Young Bloomsbury introduces us to an extraordinarily colourful cast of characters, including novelist and music critic Eddy Sackville-West, ''who wore elaborate make-up and dressed in satin and black velvet''; sculptor Stephen Tomlin; and writer Julia Strachey. Talented and productive, these larger-than-life figures had high-achieving professional lives and extremely complicated emotional lives.

Bloomsbury had always celebrated sexual equality and freedom in private, feeling that every person had the right to live and love in the way they chose. But as transgressive self-expression became more public, this younger generation gave Old Bloomsbury a new voice. Revealing an aspect of Bloomsbury history not yet explored, Young Bloomsbury celebrates an open way of living that would not be embraced for another hundred years.
