Resumo

In 1931, John Maynard Keynes looked forward to quasi-utopian “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren,” speculating that, in a peaceful and prosperous future, artists would especially thrive. But by the late 1930s, Bloomsbury’s optimistic assumption that iterative, experimental change would foster art and the good life is put under increasing pressure by the threat of fascism. For both Keynes and Virginia Woolf, the idealism of Bloomsbury’s earlier decades becomes impossible to sustain in the shadow of the Second World War. As Woolf and Keynes affirm the value of art in the context of community, they develop increasingly different perspectives on public audiences, with lasting implications for modernism and arts policy.
