Introduction
Francis Birrell (1889–1935) was a critic
and journalist associated with the Bloomsbury Group and a friend of
the novelist David Garnett. Birrell’s papers comprise letters
and postcards, chiefly to his father, politician and essayist Augustine
Birrell. There is also a collection of photographs (over 140) and papers
relating to Francis Birrell’s work in France for the War Victims
Relief Committee of the Society of Friends, 1915–20. Both Birrell
and Garnett served with the Committee from 1915–19.
