Caine, Barbara Bombay to Bloomsbury - A Biography of the Strachey Family
Oxford Oxford University Press 2005 0199250340 / 9780199250349 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. First edition, First printing. xvii and 488 pages. 36 illustrations and 3 genealogical charts. A remarkable portrait of a highly unusual family, whose members marched in the vanguard of radical living, blazing the trails of sexual freedom, feminism, and scientific secularism. The lives of Lytton Strachey, his nine siblings, and his parents show a transition to the modern world that was variously warm, troubled, intelligent, provocative, and humorous. Some of the family worked for Victoria's empire, one for the cause of suffrage, another gave piano lessons and broke Nazi codes. In Leonard Woolf's memory, the Stracheys were 'much the most remarkable family I have ever known, an extinct phenomenon which has passes away and will never be known again.' **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.95 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH WILL REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COSTS ****
