[Ads-l] Better Citation of Antedating of "Bloomsbury" (Designation of Group of Writers, Artists, and Intellectuals)

[Shapiro, Fred]

Bloomsbury (OED 1914)

1910 Lytton Strachey Letter to Duncan Grant 4 Apr. (unpublished letter at Tate Gallery Archive, ALS 67 Belsize Park Gardens)

Did you hear that Virginia had a nervous breakdown, and went off with the rest of the Bloomsbury set to Studland? They’re all still there—quarrelling I gather from morning till night in their lodging house; but apparently it’s doing Virginia a great deal of good.
