Virginia Woolf - a photo on Flickriver

Virginia Woolf

            For a few years we have been visiting the National Portrait Gallery at this time of year, usually to see a particular show (Picasso's Portraits last Saturday) and whatever else we can include. Today a couple of photos in the whatever else category, both concerning members of the 'Bloomsbury Group. who were an influential collection of somewhat Bohemian artists and other thinkers in the first half of the last century, although it's interesting to note that the incoming US President appears to be thinking along Keynesian lines as far as the American economy is concerned (he has yet to deliver, of course) as is the present UK Government, albeit in a very half hearted way. John Maynard Keynes, as well as being a leading economist of hsi time, was also very much part  of the Bloomsbury group.

According to Wikipedia:-
'
Adeline Virginia Woolf (née Stephen; 25 January 1882 – 28 March 1941), known professionally as Virginia Woolf, was an English writer and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century.
During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
Woolf suffered from severe bouts of mental illness throughout her life, now thought to have been bipolar disorder, and committed suicide by drowning in 1941 at the age of 59.'
