Hyde Park Gate News: The Stephen Family Newspaper (Modern Voices Series)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
As children, Virginia Woolf, sister Vanessa Bell, and brother Thoby, collaborated on their own family newspaper. Published here for the first time ever, the Hyde Park Gate News also includes their original drawings.
Ingeniously mimicking the style of the leading newspapers of their day, the Stephen children-Virginia, Vanessa, and Thoby-present a charming and candid portrayal of the day-to-day events at the family home in London and at their holiday home in St. Ives. Gossipy, playful, and at times irreverent, they record the comings and goings of a host of figures while also proffering their own fictional, poetic, and artistic creations. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is one of the most important figures of the Modernist Movement; her sister Vanessa Bell (1879-1961) was a painter and a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group.
