[Vwoolf] The Voyage Out - the importance of good filing!

Actually, we can go further back- see Adams’s p. 265 in the 1st edn of the Bibliog (1957) opp. p. 3, and the details supplied by him on p. 4.

No, the Adams copy was never at Sydney U.  His copy, which he had had for years, was known about.  See his p. 265 in the 2nd edn of the Bibliog (1967) opp. p. 3, and the details supplied by him on p. 4.

Adams’s copy was sold at Sotheby’s on 6 Nov 2001: "The Library of Frederick B. Adams, Jr - Part 1: English & American Literature" (Sale L01910U), p. 53, item 82 (illustration of pp. 264-5 on p. 52) – for £80,000 (not inc. buyer’s premium).

Thanks Stuart. This very helpful. But is it the case that the Adams copy was at one point at U of Sydney, or is that an old error in the record? Perhaps, given what you say, it is the Adams that’s in private hands now?

No, it is not. The Adams copy has “disappeared” following the sale after his death. That copy had gone to the US for the production of the 1920 edition. This is the other copy that Woolf herself seems to have kept as a copy of what she had

This is the other copy that Woolf herself seems to have kept as a copy of what she had sent, but, of course, there are discrepancies between the two copies.  See e.g. pp. 4-5 of the Kirkpatrick Bibliography, 4th edn.

So, is this the Frederick B. Adams copy (which Louise DeSalvo thought had been sold in the mid-1970s by Bow Windows in Lewes)? James Haule located it at the Fisher Library at U of Sydney. Does anyone know anything more about the copy held in a private collection?  I expect the editors of the forthcoming (eventually…) CUP edition will need to sort all this out! Haule, DeSalvo and others all have interesting speculations about the complicated publication history of the 1920 US edition.

Hi Christine and all, See Haule's essay ("VW's Revisions of The VO: Some New Evidence," TCL, 1996), mentioned in the article, for the trajectory of the copy. I think he got to look at it before it got mislaid. Best, Helen From: Vwoolf

Amazing, exciting find, thanks for sending, Stephen. Wonder how it wound up in Bow Windows Bookshop around 1976, 7 years after Leonard's death? Christine On 7/21/2023 3: 26 AM, Stephen Barkway via Vwoolf wrote: Here is an article about an interesting
