Virginia Woolfs Bloomsbury,Volume 2: International Influence and Politics is well worth the waitindeed, as rich as the first collection was, this one, though shorter, is equally so, but also more unified and polished. & The collection presents a nexus of thinking and work across time and topics. With politics as the strand that runs through the book, we have here a rich exploration of essays on aesthetics, war, economics, the Hogarth Press, and globalization.
