Sun Aug 29 11:57:06 EDT 2021

This is not inspiring!  In fact, worrying: ‘Virginia Woolf's notion of "Anonymous was a woman" is central to the book.’

Some members of this list may be interested to know that The New Yale Book of Quotations has been published after 15+ years of preparation:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.amazon.com/New-Yale-Book-Quotations/dp/030020597X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=yale*book*of*quotations&qid=1630107441&s=books&sr=1-1__;Kysr!!KGKeukY!itktTUfqSbrzstHdff3cPOKgncuNc0yBKNZMFHSgrf-azDPHin5y65dtcbxbCmqVe1SMimCwHRqO$ 

This is a major revision of the first edition, which was named by the Wall Street Journal as the second most essential of all reference works.  It is the product of highly innovative research techniques enabling the histories of many familiar quotes to be rewritten. The other most notable feature of the NYBQ is the spotlighting of a significant number of famous quotations that are commonly attributed to prominent men but were actually originated by obscure women.  Virginia Woolf's notion of "Anonymous was a woman" is central to the book.  

The NYBQ, of course, has an accurate and thorough treatment of quotations by Woolf herself.
