Awardwinning Biographer Victoria Glendinning Draws On Her Deep Knowledge Of The Twentieth Century Literary Scene, And On Her Meticulous Research Into Previously Untapped Sources, To Write The First Full Biography Of The Extraordinary Man Who Was The 'Dark Star' At The Center Of The Bloomsbury Set, And The Definitive Portrait Of The Woolf Marriage. A Man Of Extremes, Leonard Woolf Was Ferocious And Tender, Violent And Selfrestrained, Opinionated And Nonjudgmental, Always An Outsider Of Sorts Within The Exceptionally Intimate, Fractious, And Sometimes Vicious Society Of Brilliant But Troubled Friends And Lovers.He Has Been Portrayed Either As Virginia'S Saintly Caretaker Or As Her Oppressor, The Substantial Range And Influence Of His Own Achievements Overshadowed By Virginia'S Fame And The Tragedy Of Her Suicide. But Leonard Was A Pivotal Figure Of His Age, Whose Fierce Intelligence Touched The Key Literary And Political Events That Shaped The Early Decades Of The Twentieth Century And Would Resonate Into The Postworld War Ii Era.Glendinning Beautifully Evokes Woolf 'S Comingofage In Turnofthecentury London. The Scholarship Boy From A Prosperous Jewish Family Would Cut His Own Path Through The World Of The British Public School, Contending With The Lingering Antisemitism Of Imperial Age Britain. Immediately Upon Entering Trinity College, Cambridge, Woolf Became One Of An Intimate Group Of Vivid Personalities Who Would Form The Core Of The Bloomsbury Circle: The Flamboyant Lytton Strachey; Toby Stephen, 'The Goth,' Through Whom Leonard Would Meet Stephen'S Sister Virginia; And Clive Bell. Glendinning Brings To Life Their Long Nights Of Intense Discussion Of Literature And The Vicissitudes Of Sex, And Charts Leonard'S Course As He Becomes The Lifelong Friend Of John Maynard Keynes And E. M. Forster.She Unearths The Crucial Influence Of Woolf 'S Seven Years As A Headstrong Administrator In Colonial Ceylon, Where He Lost Confidence In The Imperial Mission, Deciding To Abandon Ceylon In Order To Marry The Psychologically Troubled Virginia Stephen. Glendinning Limns The True Nature Of Leonard'S Devotion To Virginia, Revealing Through Vivid Depiction Of Their Unconventional Marriage How Leonard Supported Virginia Through Her Breakdowns And In Her Writing. In Cofounding With Virginia The Hogarth Press, He Provided A Secure Publisher For Virginia'S Own Boldly Experimental Works.As The Minence Grise Of The Early Labour Party, Working Behind The Scenes,Woolf Became A Leading Critic Of Imperialism, And His Passionate Advocacy Of Collective Security To Prevent War Underpinned The Charter Of The League Of Nations. After Virginia'S Death, He Continued To Forge His Own Iconoclastic Way, Engaging In A Long And Happy Relationship With A Married Woman.Victoria Glendinning'S Leonard Woolf Is A Major Achievement A Shrewdly Perceptive And Lively Portrait Of A Complex Man Of Extremes And Contradictions In Whom Passion Fought With Reason And Whose Farreaching Influence Is Long Overdue For The Full Appreciation Glendinning Offers In This Important Book.
