Who were the members of the Bloomsbury group?

The Bloomsbury group was a prominent circle of English writers, philosophers, and artists who gathered in London between approximately 1907 and 1930. The core of the group originated from the social connections of siblings Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf, and their brother Thoby Stephen, who introduced his Cambridge-educated friends to his sisters.1

Key members of the group included:

• Writers: Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster, Lytton Strachey, and Leonard Woolf.1
• Artists and Critics: Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell, Duncan Grant, and Roger Fry.1
• Other notable members: The economist John Maynard Keynes, Desmond Macarthy, Arthur Waley, Saxon Sidney-Turner, Robert Trevelyan, Francis Birrell, J.M.E. McTaggart, J.M. Sheppard, Raymond Mortimer, and Stephen Tomlin.1

Additionally, figures such as Bertrand Russell, Aldous Huxley, T.S. Eliot, and Gerald Shove were sometimes associated with the circle. The group was united by a shared spirit of agnosticism and a commitment to questioning conventional ideas with intellectual rigor.1
