London Live Lecture: Living Dangerously in Bloomsbury

Join Dr. Karina Jakubowicz, FSU London lecturer in 20th century literature and winner of the 2017 Katherine Mansfield Essay Prize, for a discussion about a well-known group who lived and learned in the same neighborhood as the FSU London Study Centre. The Bloomsbury Group were famously creators of art and ideas, but all their output hinged not on how they worked but how they lived. The philosophy of living honestly underpinned their worldview and allowed them to exist boldly at the forefront of social progress. However, living boldly in the early 20th century could be also dangerous – both politically and emotionally.
