Bloomsbury Heritage Series:
The Life, Works and Times of the Bloomsbury Group

Bloomsbury Heritage is a series of monographs published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s nephew, Cecil Woolf, under the general editorship of Cecil’s wife, the acclaimed biographer Jean Moorcroft Wilson. Following in the tradition of the Hogarth Essays, these booklets range in length from eight to 80 pages and embrace the ‘Life, Works and Times of members of the Bloomsbury Group.’

The first title in the series was Virginia Woolf’s hitherto unpublished juvenile ‘novel’, A Cockney’s Farming Experiences (1994). In addition to such texts by Bloomsbury authors, the monographs provide concise, original and authoritative introductions to a wide range of approaches to Bloomsbury.

They are written for the general reader as well as for the academic reader and, in the words of a reviewer, are ‘as varied in themes and approaches as Bloomsbury was varied in its members, ambitions and achievements. [The monographs] range from philosophy, literary criticism and biography to commercial ventures, home furnishing and art with a diversity which is both impressive and thoroughly entertaining’. (The Charleston Magazine).

There are more than 50 titles in this ongoing series. They are listed below.

If you have a suggestion, a comment, proposal or manuscript to offer, Cecil will be delighted to hear from you.

War Poets Series: The Lives, Works and Times of the 20th Century War Poets 

The War Poets monographs, published by Cecil Woolf under the general editorship of Jean Moorcroft Wilson, is an ongoing series along the lines of their long-established and acclaimed Bloomsbury Heritage and Powys booklets. Like them, the area covered is – in the broadest sense – the ‘Life, Works and Times’ of war poets of the twentieth century onwards.

Based on original research and written by experts for the general reader as well as for the academic reader, the war poets monographs range from biographical studies, memoirs and critical studies to selections of the subject’s poems. And this year, a play based on the life of Rupert Brooke has been added to the series. The titles vary in length from 20 pages to book-length volumes.

Cecil and Jean welcome proposals for possible additions to the series. To order any or all of the titles, make a suggestion or enquiry, or obtain a complete list, please contact  them at cecilwoolf@gmail.com or at 1 Mornington Place, London NW1  7RP, England, or tel/fax 0044 207387 2394.
