ENG 140 - The Bloomsbury Group

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

Virginia Woolf wrote that "in or about December 1910, human character changed." Although Woolf was writing about Roger Fry's hugely influential Post-Impressionist art exhibition, she was also thinking of her own literary practice, and of the patterns of behavior exhibited by the artists, writers and lovers who "belonged" to the Bloomsbury Group, that iconoclastic collection of people who lived in and around the Bloomsbury section of London in the early days of the twentieth century. This course will trace the ideas and experiments - visual, literary, sexual - enacted by figures such as Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, E.M. Forster, Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell, Duncan Grant and some of their many other London and Cambridge associates. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
