2. Woolf and The Bloomsbury Group
• It is said that “The Bloomsbury Group was in essence an informal association based on interests and friendship. • The members held more liberal views on art and social issues than their contemporaries and they often rejected the artistic, social and sexual restriction of the Victorian Age. • The group had great influence on the forthcoming British avant-garde on art and literature. Virginia Woolf was one of the key members of the group. However, by the early 1930s, the group ceased to exist in its original form.”

Virginia #34;Imaginative work... is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners."
