==== Fitzroy Square and Brunswick Square ==== [[File:Virginia Woolf and George Bernard Shaw (5025918683).jpg|thumb|upright|29 Fitzroy Square|alt=Photo of 29 Fitzroy Square, Virginia's home from 1907 to 1910]] After Vanessa's marriage, Virginia and Adrian moved into [[Fitzroy Square]], still very close to Gordon Square.{{sfn|Lee|1997a|p=233}}{{sfn|Bell|1972|p=196}} The new house had previously been occupied by [[George Bernard Shaw]], and the area had been populated by artists since the previous century.{{sfn|Lee|1997a|p=233}} Virginia resented the wealth that Vanessa's marriage had given her; Virginia and Adrian lived more humbly by comparison.{{sfn|Lee|1997a|pp=233-235}} The siblings resumed the Thursday Club at their new home.{{sfn|Lee|1997a|p=235}} During this period, the Bloomsbury group increasingly explored progressive ideas, with open discussions of sexuality. Virginia, however, appears not to have shown interest in practising the group's ideologies, finding an outlet for her sexual desires only in writing.{{sfn|Lee|1997a|pp=238-241}}{{sfn|Bell|1972|p=170}} Around this time she began work on her first novel, ''Melymbrosia'', which eventually became ''[[The Voyage Out]]'' (1915).{{sfn|Lee|1997a|pp=232,274}}{{sfn|Bell|1972|p=196}} In November 1911 Virginia and Adrian moved to a larger house in [[Brunswick Square]], and invited John Maynard Keynes, Duncan Grant and Leonard Woolf to become lodgers there.{{sfn|Lee|1997a|pp=267,300}}{{sfn|Bell|1972|p=180}} Virginia saw it as a new opportunity: "We are going to try all kinds of experiments", she told [[Ottoline Morrell]].{{sfn|Lee|1997a|p=288}}
