Boyd, Elizabeth French. Bloomsbury Heritage: Their Mothers and Their Aunts.
London: Hamish Hamilton, [1976].
Signed and Inscribed by Author. Octavo, navy blue cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xii, 161 pp. Near-Fine, with light foxing (age darkening) to endpapers, in a Very Good dust jacket with slight fading to edges and spine and light edgewear. ÒBloomsbury Heritage chronicles the lives of a selection of immediate ancestresses of the Bloomsbury Group's members: the Pattle sisters and the daughter of one of these, Julia Jackson Duckworth Stephen, Anne Thackeray Ritchie, aunt by marriage of the Stephen girls and of Molly MacCarthy; and Mary Warre-Cornish MacCarthy herself, an important member of the Group, whose position in it has been overshadowed by her husband, Desmond MacCarthy. The careers of these women and their families bring the British Empire, especially British India, into the immediate background of the Bloomsbury Group and help to explain the existence of its innermost circle, the Memoir Club.Ó
