The Bloomsbury Group, a literary and artistic circle in the early 20th century, was also known as the Bloomsberries, Bloomsbury Set, or simply Bloomsbury. This group of intellectuals, led by writers Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster, were known for their unconventional lifestyles and artistic experimentation. Other members included economist John Maynard Keynes, art critic Clive Bell, and biographer Lytton Strachey. They often gathered at the Bloomsbury home of Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, for social and intellectual discussions. Today, their influence is still felt in the fields of literature, art, and cultural theory. Synonyms for the Bloomsbury Group include the Bloomsbury Set, the Bloomsberries, and simply Bloomsbury.
