The Bloomsbury Group—or Bloomsbury Set—was a group of associated English writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists in the first half of the 20th century, including Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Clive and Vanessa Bell, Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry, John Maynard Keynes, E.M. Forster, and Lytton Strachey. Others joined this core group as time passed; and TS Eliot ran in the same circles though not a formal member. This loose collective of friends and relatives was closely associated with the University of Cambridge and King's College, London. They lived, worked or studied together near Bloomsbury, London. According to Ian Ousby, "although its members denied being a group in any formal sense, they were united by an abiding belief in the importance of the arts."  Their works and outlook deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism and economics as well as modern attitudes towards feminism, pacificism and sexuality. A well-known quote, attributed to Dorothy Parker is "they lived in squares, painted in circles and loved in triangles".
