"In Bloomsbury and France: Art and Friends, Mary Ann Caws and Sarah Bird Wright reveal the crucial importance of the Bloomsbury group's frequent sojourns to France, the artists and writers they met there, and the liberating effect of the country itself. Drawing upon many previously unpublished letters, memoirs, and photographs, the book illuminates the artistic development of Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Clive Bell, David Garnett, E.M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, Dora Carrington, and others."--Jacket Beginnings: friends in France, 1896-1910 -- Lytton Strachey, Dora Carrington, Ralph Partridge -- Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf, Vita Sackville-West -- Clive Bell and his circle -- John Maynard Keynes -- Ottoline Morrell -- Ethel Sand and Nana Hudson -- Frances Partridge -- Painter in France, 1910-1921: Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell, Roger Fry -- Painter in Provence, 1921-1938 ; St.-Tropez, 1921-1927 ; Duncan Grant aboard the Arequipa, 1924-1925 ; Cassis, 1925-1929 ; Last years in the Midi, 1930-1938 -- Visual translations -- The Maurons, E.M.
