Description: This biography draws upon the expanding archives on Bloomsbury to present Julian Bell's life more completely and more personally than has been done previously. It is an exploration of personal, sexual, intellectual, political, and literary life in England between the two world wars. Through Julian, the book provides important insights on Virginia Woolf, his mother Vanessa Bell, and other members of the Bloomsbury Group. Taking us from London to China to Spain during its civil war, the book is also the story of one young man's life.
