<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2232617/open_sms">Send us a text</a>The Bloomsbury Group was an eclectic circle of intellectuals, artists, and writers who defied convention and redefined the cultural landscape of early 20th-century Britain. Imagine a salon where Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking narratives, John Maynard Keynes' revolutionary economic theories, and Vanessa Bell's avant-garde paintings converged, all fueled by fierce debates on art, politics, and sexuality. Their relationships were as complex and intertwined as their ideas, creating a vibrant tapestry of creativity and controversy that left an indelible mark on modern thought.  Dive deeper with Keith, and you'll discover a world where art and life were inseparable, and the boundaries of both were constantly being pushed.
