Description
Among the Bohemians: Experiments in Living 1900-1939 by Virginia Nicholson offers a fascinating portrait of England's artistic community during the first half of the twentieth century. This subversive and eccentric group, known for their flamboyant lifestyle, rejected conventional norms and explored unconventional ways of living. Their lives were marked by rebellion, nonconformity, and a desire to challenge societal expectations. Nicholson examines how this bohemian lifestyle influenced the way people lived their lives, often blurring the lines between art and everyday life. This book provides an illuminating and well-researched portrait of life among artists in the early twentieth century. Written by Virginia Nicholson, a documentary researcher for BBC Television and author of Charleston: A Bloomsbury House and Garden, Among the Bohemians is a captivating look at a pivotal moment in history.
