Hyde Park Gate News : the Stephen family newspaper
Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell (Author), Thoby, d 1880-1906 Stephen (Author), Gill Lowe (Editor), Hermione Lee
Ingeniously mimicking the style of the leading newspapers of their day, the Stephen children--"Virginia, Vanessa, and Thoby--"present a charming and candid portrayal of the day-to-day events at the family home in London and at their holiday home in St Ives. Gossipy, playful, and at times irreverent, they record the comings and goings of a host of figures while also proffering their own fictional, poetic, and artistic creations. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is one of the most important figures of the Modernist Movement; her sister Vanessa Bell (1879-1961) was a painter and a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group
