Review
Reviews of
Edwardian Bloomsbury:
"If you want to deconstruct Bloomsbury, this is not the book for you; but if you want Bloomsbury consolidated, you can't do without it ... Rosenbaum is providing an impressively thorough and reliable map of the 'group' development and achievements."--Hermione Lee
