Formation of the Bloomsbury Group

 The Bloomsbury Group, started by Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, was a group of writers dedicated to bringing literature out of Victorian styles and forms and into the modern era.  The Bloomsbury Group emphasized the creation of avant-garde writing styles, most notably stream-of-consciousness writing coined by Virginia Woolf.  This group gave way to newer styles such as imagism, the style used by Ezra Pound.
