	Bloomsbury, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bloomsbury is an area of central London, in the London Borough of Camden, named after a Norman landowner William de Blemund (Blemondisben) who acquired the land in 1201.
		Bloomsbury is also the location of University College Hospital, which re-opened in 2005 in new buildings on Euston Road, built under the government’s public private partnership (PPP).
		The area gives its name to the Bloomsbury Group (also Bloomsbury Set) of artists, the most famous of whom was Virginia Woolf, who met in private homes in the area in the early 1900s, and to the lesser known Bloomsbury Gang of Whigs formed in 1765 by John Russell, 4th Duke of Bedford.

		The Bloomsbury Set could certainly be considered as a clique, including acquaintances, such as Lady Ottoline Morrell, whose estate in Garsington undoubtedly became another Bloomsbury centre, where the Bloomsberries mingled with other artists and intellectuals of their day.
		By the time that during World War II a number of the Groups residences in the Bloomsbury area had been shelled, and Virginia Woolf had committed suicide, the high days of the group were over, although in places like Charleston the Bloomsbury way of life still continued for several decades.

		With the exception of Virginia Woolf, Bloomsbury was more anti-Victorian than pro-modernist, its followers more the heirs to Paterian aestheticism than participants in the unfolding modernist awakening inspired by Joyce, Lawrence, Eliot, and Stein.
