<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>Noel Annan's bio is also enlightening; she seems to have inherited a great deal of his physical toughness, Stephen family mental high/low, and courage. She also inherited his place at the pinnacle of literary journalism and atheism. As an American I wondered for years how she found herself at the nexus of such a powerful group of friends, until I realized they'd all been friends for five generations, since the Clapham sect. This doesn't happen in America.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Dear Woolf Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>If one takes the time to read Leslie Stephen’s essays over the course of his life as well as his many entries in the Dictionary of National Biography which he initiated and edited for over a decade, one finds a rather different persona from the one so often criticized as a tyrannical and maudlin father. In addition his letters in the two-volume Bicknell edition present a far more human version. Woolf herself acknowledged especially in her retrospective piece for <I>The Times</I> how significant his literary influence on her was. <o:p></o:p></P>
