Bloomsbury lies at the heart of cultural and intellectual London, famed for its museums, universities and literary heritage. Matthew Ingleby´s new history ranges across the neighbourhood to explore hidden corners and reveal unexpected connections between Bloomsbury´s past and present, its buildings and its people, its austere towers and its garden squares. Ingleby examines the facets of Bloomsbury that have shaped its identity - its long association with youth and beginnings; its proud secularism and scepticism; and its role as London´s centre of thinking, writing and publishing. He draws on the voices of Bloomsbury´s most observant residents, such as Charles Dickens and Virginia Woolf, to explain the character of the place in a fresh and engaging new way.
