Recensioner i media

This highly readable collection has some surprises for those who think the contours of Bloomsbury’s queerness self-evident. With its significant attention to lives as well as works, the volume shows that if the celebrated coterie affirms some of the pieties that now characterize discourse on queerness, it disrupts many others. The contributors are joyfully united in their admiration for Bloomsbury, yet their accounts are diverse in import and abundant in provocations to further inquiry.
