Conversations in Bloomsbury

''Conversations in Bloomsbury'' is a 1981 memoir that depicts writer Mulk Raj Anand’s life in London during the heyday of the Bloomsbury Group, and his relationships with the group’s members. It provides a rare insight into the intimate workings of the English modernist movement, portraying such prominent figures as Virginia Woolf, T.S Eliot and D.H. Lawrence. Anand challenges the cultural narrative that many have received about these literary figures.
== Visions of the Bloomsbury Group ==

Anand leaves a snapshot of the Bloomsbury Group for posterity, focalizing the individuals within the group through issues of colonial prejudice. His revelations, written decades after his experiences, and retrospectively framed by a postcolonial perspective, often give uncomfortable perspectives on the racist and casually jingoistic attitudes of a seemingly liberal movement. Commentary often engages with the significance of the British ‘civilising’ mission. Comments include T.S. Eliot’s remark ‘I wish that Indians would tone down their politics and renew their culture’.〔Mulk Raj Anand, ''Conversations in Bloomsbury'' (Delhi: Oxford UP, 1995) 150.〕 Retrospectively, it is possible to point out shortcomings of these writers, inviting a re-examination of their work.
The text gives a highly subjective reading of the Bloomsbury Group, one which is elevated from a biographical recording to a complex and amusing satire of intellectual prejudice, by virtue of Anand's position on the margins of the group. The form of the text allows Anand to set up an ironic distance between the voices of the Bloomsbury Group and the silent undercurrents of their conversations. The prejudices and biases of the group become glaringly obvious because Anand guides the reader to see the dismissal of colonial cruelties that the insular nature of the group prevents them from seeing themselves.
Anand expresses particular disillusion with the group's ignorance of other cultures, arguing that this is an obstacle to the modernist endeavour. He is also critical of their disengagement with both national and international politics, particularly on the issue of Indian independence.
