    Our Debt to the Bohemians
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 15, 2017*

"Among the Bohemians" is a book that should be read by anyone who harbors bohemian tendencies.  Most serious readers fall into this category, consciously or not, so the appeal of this book is guaranteed to be wide-spread.  The bohemians that the author puts her reader among are mainly English, with a sprinkling of European and American expatriates.  Everyone who reads this book will have their own favorite bohemian.  The one who stood out for me was Augustus John, the painter, a charismatic character who was at the center of English bohemian life in the first half of the twentieth century.  His great talent as an artist was more than matched by his Rabelaisian life-style, which included driving a horse-drawn gypsy caravan filled with children and a wife or two across England and a sexual vitality that drew innumerable women and girls (among them Caitlin Macnamara, Dylan Thomas's future wife) to his bed (or wherever).  As the author points out, respectability and social responsibility, or even a basic adherence to the laws of the land, were not bohemian strong points.  What these artists and other followers of alternative life-styles did bequeath to us, however, was a loosening of the strict social and moral codes handed down from 19th century England and America, so that today, in living the freer lives we live, we stand in their debt, whether we know it or not.

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2018*

my only complaint is the type font is a bit small for my taste, but I can see if it was printed with a larger font the book would have been huge! After seeing the BBC produced Living in Squares I was anxious to learn more about this time period.
