    • Summary:Stephen Tomlin (1901-37), known to friends as "Tommy", is the mystery man of the Bloomsbury Group. Though tantalising glimpses of him appear in biographies of the main Bloomsbury figures, BLOOMSBURY STUD is the first serious account of his life. A talented sculptor, trained by Frank Dobson, Tommy is best known for his widely admired busts of Duncan Grant, Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf, to be found in the permanent collections of leading museums. But he was a man of many other artistic gifts, a poet, actor, musician and ceramicist, also renowned for his seductive charm and brilliant conversation. 'Bloomsbury Stud' gives a fascinating account of Tommy's tempestuous career; his relationships with Bloomsbury and other friends; his sculpture and other work; his racy sex-life and doomed marriage; and his battle with the demons that eventually overcame him.
