By Frances Mary Grogan Brookfield

Book Overview

The Cambridge Apostles is a book written by Frances M. Brookfield that explores the history and influence of the Cambridge Apostles, a secret society of intellectuals and thinkers who were associated with the University of Cambridge. The book provides a comprehensive account of the group's origins, their meetings and discussions, and their impact on the intellectual and cultural life of Cambridge and beyond. Brookfield examines the lives and ideas of some of the most prominent members of the group, including John Maynard Keynes, Bertrand Russell, and G.E.
