The Bloomsbury Group
When Virginia Woolf's mother died, she could finally start her literary career. She moved to the London neighbourhood of Bloomsbury, where she became a member of the Bloomsbury Group with her aunt, the artist Vanessa Bell. The group excluded writers, artists and thinkers who represented the avant-garde of early 20th century London. They all felt a contempt for traditional morality, and rejected artistic conventions and unconventional sexual codes. Their radicalism took shape in Woolf's revolutionary poetry style, Bertrand Russell's pacifist theories, and the Post-Impressionist painting of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant.
