This study of the Bloomsbury set explores its scholars, collectors, fanatics, enemies, bitter controversies and the whole Bloomsbury industry - those who make a living furrowing the now well-ploughed fields of the literary group.

The disregard of a dying woman's bequest, a girl's attempt to help an impoverished clerk, and the marriage of an idealist and a materialist -- all intersect at an estate called Howards End. The fate of this country home symbolizes the future of England in an exploration of social, economic, and philosophical trends during the post-Victorian era.
