Bloomsbury Group

The Bloomsbury Group was an interesting group. It is difficult to determine who was actually in the group, every source that I looked at had varying members. The Bloomsbury Group was a group of friends and relatives who lived in or near London. According to Wikipedia, Their work deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics as well as modern attitudes towards feminism, pacifism, and sexuality. Its best known members were Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, E. M. Forster, and Lytton Strachey (Wikipedia). I have listed the members of the group as listed at Tate.org.uk and Wikipedia.org, their respective addresses were found at english-heritage.org.uk.
