Abstract

This article focuses on Virginia Woolf and Bloomsbury in and after 1918. It looks at the ways in which the Woolfs, together with members of their circle of friends and family, recorded their experience, their political views, and their attitudes towards Germany, the US and Russia during the final months of the First World War and how they received the arrival of peace. Part of the overall argument will be devoted to tracing the means by which Bloomsbury and the various societies and clubs that were related to it tried to maintain continuity during the war years in London, Richmond and Sussex. A main part of the article will then analyse the development of Bloomsbury's literary and artistic production and the new connections between art, literature and politics that were forged in the aftermath of the founding of the Hogarth Press in 1917.
