A major force in the intellectual life of London in his day, Stephen has been more recently celebrated as the father of Viginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, and as the model for the tyrannical, selfish Mr. Ramsey in Woolf's, "To the Lighthouse". But as Noel Annan makes clear in this brilliant, authoritative and engaging consideration of Stephen's life and work, he was the progenitor not only of Bloomsbury's leading figures but of the intellectual and cultural attitudes that shaped much of the character of their art and thought." ; 9.3 X 6.2 X 1.4 inches; 432 pages .
