Abstract
The memoirs that Clive Bell and Maynard Keynes began reading to the Memoir Club on 7 July 1920 were completed on 2 February 1921, the Club’s first meeting in the new year. These memoirs indicate how in the course of a year the range of Memoir Club subjects expanded from the more remote past to the recent present, and from relatively impersonal childhood memories to intimately private or controversially public affairs.
