The classicist Martin Ferguson Smith turns his attention to leading cultural figures of the 20th Century in this collection of biographical essays.

Six of the essays focus on pivotal figures of the Bloomsbury Group, including Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell and Roger Fry.

Smith also considers the life and works of figures outside the Bloomsbury circle, including Rose Macaulay, Dorothy L. Sayers, and others.

Bringing his classicist’s rigour to bear, Smith offers illuminating considerations of major cultural figures and their influence on art history.
