When I first encountered Bloomsbury Pie I was afraid that its appeals would be limited to scholars buried in a narrow niche of literary history. While it's critical insight and literary, social and historical merit will appease that crowd, as a new-comer to Bloomsbury history I found Bloomsbury Pie to be an insightful and capturing read. Marler's thorough research, passion for the subject and expert writing craft intertwine to make Bloomsbury Pie a tasty treat.
