Bloomsbury, Elysian Fields

They remained, as the saying goes, friends. In fact, Strachey dedicated "Queen Victoria" to Virginia Woolf in 1921, nearly a decade after she had married Leonard Woolf. And their sporadic correspondence, now published as "Virginia Woolf and Lytton Strachey Letters," has been edited by - you guessed it? - Leonard Woolf and James Strachey.

Let us hope a copy of this book reaches Mrs. Woolf and Mr. Strachey in the Elysian Fields. They'll have as much fun reading it as we do, and they'll probably laugh over it more uproariously than will surviving Bloomsburians or earnest members of the cult, the Bloomsberries, on pious pilgrimage through its pages.
