Stream of Consciousness A style of writing to express to flow of a characters’ thoughts and feelings. The technique aims to give readers the impression of being inside the mind of character.

Bloomsbury group Its members were committed to a rejection of what they felt were the strictures and taboos of Victorianism on religious, artistic, social, and sexual matters. They remained a fairly tight-knit group for many years; recent biographers have detailed their tangled personal relations.

By the 1920s Bloomsbury's reputation as a cultural circle was fully established to the extent that its mannerisms were parodied and Bloomsbury became a widely used term connoting an insular, snobbish aestheticism.

Unique in the brilliance, variety, and output of its members, the group has remained the focus of widespread scholarly and popular interest.
