[Vwoolf] Vwoolf Digest, Vol 142, Issue 8

Mon Mar 11 10:38:02 EDT 2024

Thanks for sharing the NYT review, Vara. Makes you wonder if Tina Brown has
actually read *AROO *since the fate of all the women Targoff writes about
in her book pretty vividly illustrate the issues Woolf so insightfully
discusses. Clearly she doesn't know about 'The Countess of Pembroke's
*Arcadia*' either.
