227 – Who’s Afraid of… That One Writer (and the Bloomsbury Group)?

Let’s journey across the pond to learn all about the Bloomsbury Group– a sordid literary and artistic crew who “lived in squares, painted in circles, and loved in triangles.” [They make the Algonquin Round Table seem like a bunch of amateurs.] But our REAL focus is on feminist author Virginia Woolf. Later, enjoy a quiz called “In Bloom”!
