Queen Victoria, by Giles Lytton Strachey. Part I.
Lytton Strachey’s first great success, and his most famous achievement, was "Eminent Victorians" (1918), a collection of four short biographies of Victorian heroes. With a dry wit, he exposed the human failings of his subjects and what he saw as the hypocrisy at the centre of Victorian morality.

The Bloomsbury Group and Shakespeare, with Marjorie Garber
We talk with Harvard Professor Marjorie Garber about how modernist writers of London’s Bloomsbury Group made Shakespeare their own. Garber’s most recent book—her twentieth—is Shakespeare in Bloomsbury. In it, she traces the influence of Shakespeare on the members of the Bloomsbury Group, that circle of early 20th-century intellectuals included novelists Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster, painter Vanessa Bell, director Dadie Rylands, critic and biographer Lytton Strachey, economist John Maynard Keynes, and others. She tells Barbara Bogaev about the threads of Shakespeare that run through Woolf’s novels, how Lytton Strachey changed our perspective on Shakespeare’s late plays...

Young Bloomsbury, with Nino Strachey • #126
Step back in time with us as Kate visits Charleston home of Vanessa Bell and important gathering place for the members of the Bloomsbury Group, that collection of writers and artists including Virginia Woolf that coalesced around Gordon Square in London. Undaunted by the ghosts of her relatives Nino Strachey, author of a new book, Young Bloomsbury, joins us to discuss the up-and-coming younger generation, such as writer Julia Strachey, sculptor Stephen Tomlin and photographer Cecil Beaton, who followed in their footsteps. Nino considers the interplay of creative inspiration that flowed between the generations, but also the spirit of...

Ci basta l'Atlantico
"Ebbene! Mi sembra di emergere un poco da questa fiacchezza oggi, non so dirti perché. Forse gli orrori del mondo esterno (tribunali locali e roba simile) cominciano a farsi più presenti, e non si può davvero starsene immobili di fronte ad essi. Ad ogni modo, eccomi qui, evidentemente con una penna in mano, a scrivere una lettera: chi l'avrebbe mai detto! Il problema è che ci sarebbe così tanto da scrivere che non riesco a immaginare di scrivere alcunché." Virginia Woolf e Lytton Strachey si sono scritti lettere per venticinque anni.

Virginia Woolf y Lytton Strachey fueron dos de los miembros más destacados del denominado Grupo de Bloomsbury, una generación que dominó la literatura, el pensamiento y las artes en Gran Bretaña durante la primera mitad del siglo xx. Esta correspondencia, compilada por Leonard Woolf esposo de Virginia y James Strachey hermano de Lytton y traductor de Freud al inglés, despertó una enorme curiosidad desde su primera publicación, allá por 1956. Son cartas que, aparte de ofrecernos una visión de primera mano de coetáneos como Bertrand Russell, John Maynard Keynes, Edward Morgan Foster o Dora Carrington...

Ep. 1 - Carrington: A Polyamorous Movie Review
Joreth reviews the movie Carrington, with Emma Thompson, Jonathan Pryce, and Steven Waddington. This is the story of real-life painter Dora Carrington, her life-partner Lytton Strachey, and their various loves. I watched a movie that was recommended on a very long list of "poly" movies. Many of the movies on the list are more about cheating and being forced to choose between partners, so I was somewhat dubious. But Carrington proved to be an exception. I found this movie to be an excellent example of polyamory ... before the word existed. This movie is based on the real-life char...
