Roger Fry – A Biography by Virginia Woolf offers an intimate and insightful portrait of one of the most influential figures in the British art world, Roger Eliot Fry (1866–1934).
As a pioneering painter, critic, and a key member of the Bloomsbury Group, Fry was instrumental in introducing modern art to Britain, coining the term ‘Post-Impressionism’ and championing the works of artists like Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh. In this biography, Woolf captures the essence of Fry’s life and contributions, blending her deep understanding of art with her renowned literary style. Through Woolf’s narrative, readers gain a deeper appreciation of Fry’s impact on the art world, as well as his complex personality and relationships within the Bloomsbury Group.
This edition also includes Woolf’s essay The Art of Biography, where she reflects on the challenges and nuances of writing a life story, providing further context to her approach in documenting Fry’s life. Published by Read & Co. Great Essays, this classic biography is now republished with a specially commissioned biography of Woolf.
