Leon Edel's Bloomsbury: A House of Lions chronicles the lives and interconnections of this legendary group — among them Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, Roger Fry, E.M. Forster, and John Maynard Keynes — illuminating how their radical ideas about art, sexuality, economics, and society irrevocably changed the cultural landscape of the twentieth century.\n\nEdel, the preeminent literary biographer of his generation and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the monumental life of Henry James, brings his extraordinary psychological insight and narrative precision to bear on the Bloomsbury circle's tangled friendships, love affairs, and creative rivalries. He argues that it was precisely the tension between their privileged Cambridge educations and their fierce rejection of Victorian convention that forged their collective brilliance. Written with the authority of a scholar who spent a lifetime immersed in the world of literary modernism, Bloomsbury: A House of Lions is an indispensable portrait of a group whose arguments still echo — and whose scandals still fascinate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130627727579,"sku":"2026200010016-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2735e806-85ed-465b-b7f1-6a28b28b63e4.png?v=1786587911","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010016-secondhand-bloomsbury-a-house-of-lions","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
