N2  - Biographer Leon Edel explores, in a brilliant narrative that reads like a novel, the Bloomsbury "lions," - economist Maynard Keynes, political scientist Leonard Woolf, novelist Virginia Woolf, biographer Lytton Strachey, two hedonist critics, Clive Bell and Desmond McCarthy, and three painters, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell, and Roger Fry - prowling, mauling, loving, working, and finally achieving both individual and collective fame and power. Bloomsbury was a network of human relations, a lesson in modern living. In the women of the group, Virginia and Vanessa, the gifted daughters of Sir Leslie Stephen, lie some of the roots of the modern feminist movement
