- Inhalt
- The Bloomsbury Group (after the London borough of Bloomsbury) is a term frequently used for a number of writers, painters and critics of the first half of the twentieth century who were also close personal friends. Members of the group included the writers Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster, the painters Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and Roger Fry, the biographer Lytton Strachey, the social economist John Maynard Keynes and the critics Leonard Woolf and Clive Bell. The aim of this course will be to investigate whether it really makes sense to speak of a “group”, i.e. if, in what way and to what extent the individual artists influenced each other or followed a common aesthetics. In view of the number of members and the huge influence they exerted in their various fields, a treatment of the group’s activities within the limits of one seminar will necessarily be highly selective. Hence, we will concentrate on fiction and painting, that is, the (shared?) artistic principles of the group, and largely ignore the equally intriguing political issues (for instance pacifism and changing gender roles). Students enrolling for this class will be expected to read two longer texts, E. M. Forster’s novel Howards End and Virginia Woolf’s The Waves, as well as a selection of shorter, mostly non-fictional, texts that will be made available in class. Considering the topic of this class, which is concerned with collaboration, mutual criticism and lively interaction, it is essential that students make an effort to attend the seminar regularly. Please note that you must have read Howards End by the second week of term!
