The Charleston Bulletin Supplements

de Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf, with Quentin Bell, from 1923 until 1927, created booklets of stories and drawings that were announced within the household as the Supplements for the Charleston Bullentin newspaper. The Supplements are transcribed in full here for the first time alongside forty of Bell's original illustrations. The articles describe the escapades of family members, household servants, and associates of the Bloomsbury Group, leaving nobody unscathed by the sharp wit of aunt and nephew. Designed to tease the adults, they portray Bloomsbury eccentricities along with the foibles and mishaps of the residents and visitors at Charleston. This is the first time the Supplements have been published since they were written.
