Citation :

Rooms of their Own is a fascinating look into The Bloomsbury Group – a famous countercultural literary and intellectual movement – as seen through the living spaces and décor of some of its most vivacious members.
Packed with images of furnishings, paintings and gardens, twinned with stories from behind closed doors of the bohemian set.
Linked by an intimate web of relationships, Edward Sackville-West, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West created homes in Kent and East Sussex which challenged contemporary conventions. While
Virginia Woolf and Eddy Sackville-West favoured the bright colours and bold patterns of Bloomsbury, Vita Sackville-West looked backwards to the Elizabethan age, filling her rooms with the romantic relics of past lovers.
Evocative, engaging and filled with vivid details, Rooms of their Own explores the homes of these three writers linked to the Bloomsbury Group. Bringing together stories of love, desire and intimacy, of evolving relationships and erotic encounters, with vivid accounts of the settings in which they took place, it offers fresh insights into their complicated, interlocking lives. Complete with first-hand accounts, this book illuminates shifting social and moral attitudes towards sexuality and gender in the 1920s and 30s.
A celebration of early 20th-century queer culture.
