[Vwoolf] A Mrs Dalloway challenge

[mhussey at verizon.net]

In her Penguin (1992) edition intro to Mrs Dalloway, Elaine Showalter cites
a description of Clarissa by novelist Paul Bailey as "a snobbish, vain,
repressed lesbian who has dabbled in culture, but for the greater part of
the novel she is only a shadow." (etc.). Showalter's citation is to an
article by Bailey titled 'Into the Waves' supposedly in the TLS of 13 May
1973. As I have been unable to track this down in the TLS, the London Times,
or any other database, I am offering a nice book (of my choosing) to anyone
who can locate the actual source of this quotation! If it actually exists,
that is.
