Beyond Bloomsbury, a painting created for the site by Mary MacCarthy (granddaughter of Bloomsbury Desmond MacCarthy), 2023

Introduction

Welcome to Beyond Bloomsbury, an ongoing anthology of historical artist and writer Biographies and curated Gallery and Library collections. Thank you for visiting!

I’m Victoria, a historian, writer and doctoral scholar interested in the intersections of early twentieth-century art, literature and history, with a particular focus on the life and work of the Bloomsbury Group and their contemporaries.

Before pursuing doctoral research, I achieved an honours degree in Art History (BA), two postgraduate degrees in Art History (MA) and Journalism (MA), and received awards from the National Council for the Training of Journalists.

I launched Beyond Bloomsbury in recognition of the artists and writers I explore in my research, as well as this important period in art and literary history. Occasionally, I also celebrate artists and writers before Bloomsbury.
