SUMMARY:Royal Oak Presents – Behind Closed Doors: Stepping into Bloomsbury Rooms
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Oak Foundation presents Behind Closed Doors: Stepping into Bloomsbury Rooms with NINO STRACHEY \n$30 Special CLS member price (with co-sponsor code: 18FCHLIB) To purchase tickets call 212-480-2889\, x201 or click here. \nHead of Research and Specialist Advice for the National Trust\, Nino Strachey is descended from a family at the heart of the Bloomsbury Group. In her new book\, Rooms of Their Own\, Strachey explores the complicated\, interlocking lives of Virginia Woolf and Vita & Edward Sackville-West through their vivacious and vivid homes. Functioning as the bohemian backdrops for their unconventional lives\, Strachey will explore the homes that expressed each artist’s personality and show us how they forged special relationships. \nThis talk explores the homes of three writers linked to the Bloomsbury Group: Virginia Woolf\, Vita Sackville-West and Eddy Sackville-West. The Bloomsbury Group was a set of writers and artists who met in the Bloomsbury area of London\, challenging the conventions of their Victorian predecessors in person\, and in books like Lytton Strachey’s Eminent Victorians. Linked by a complex web of relationships\, Virginia\, Vita and Eddy created country retreats which expressed their unusual personalities. \nAt Monk’s House\, Virginia Woolf looked forward to the modern age\, favoring the bright colors and bold patterns of her favorite Bloomsbury artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. At Sissinghurst\, Vita Sackville-West looked back to the past and the Elizabethan age\, filling her rooms with the romantic relics of former lovers. At Knole\, Vita’s first cousin Eddy mixed Sackville heirlooms with the vibrant works of his artist lovers Duncan Grant\, Stephen Tomlin and John Banting. Virginia Woolf combined the characters of Vita and Eddy in her novel Orlando—published in 1928 and set at Knole—creating a hero/heroine who changes their sex over time. \nDescended from a family at the heart of Bloomsbury\, Nino Strachey will offer a personal perspective on the stories revealed in her new book Rooms of Their Own: Eddy Sackville-West\, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West
