A War of Individuals: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great War

A War of Individuals: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great War Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bringing together examples of the "aesthetic pacifism" practised during the Great War by members of the Bloomsbury Group and others, this text outlines the stories of those less well-known who shared the mind-set of the Bloomsbury Group when it came to facing the first "total war". It draws together evidence from all the major archives in Great Britain to create a complete picture of this form of anti-war expression featuring well-known individuals such as Virginia Woolf, Bertrand Russell and Siegfried Sassoon.
