Publisher Description:

The first collection to bring together contemporary and classic writings on queer Bloomsbury

This anthology presents important early essays that laid the foundation for queer studies of the Bloomsbury Group together with new essays that build upon this foundation to provide ground-breaking work on Bloomsbury figures and cultural achievements. As a whole, Queer Bloomsbury stands alone as a wide-ranging and critical resource that traces the cultural, ideological, and aesthetic facets of Bloomsbury's development as a queer intellectual and aesthetic subculture.

Key Features

  • Fifteen wide-ranging readings that trace the cultural, ideological, and aesthetic facets of Bloomsbury's development as a queer subculture
  • Includes Carolyn Heilbrun's influential essay on the sexual dissidence of the Bloomsbury Group with an introduction by scholar Brenda Silver
  • Moves beyond LGBT studies of Bloomsbury to provide substantive information on the queer philosophical and ethical underpinnings of the Bloomsbury Group
  • Rarely seen reproductions of Duncan Grant's work from the Charleston archives as well as Dora Carrington's work from archives and a private collection
