As a coda, Rohan Maitzen, on Twitter, directs my attention to her lovely & interesting essay on Woolf as a critic. I'd read it before (not while Trollope-hunting), but perhaps you haven't seen it.<br><br>Maitzen comes to Woolf as a Victorianist and so some of the things that irritate her are the very ones I love--something that makes her appreciation grate at times and also teaches me something I wouldn't have otherwise learned.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Good afternoon, Woolfians,<br><br>I'm combing through the final bits and bobs of my edition of Mrs. Dalloway and I think I've found the source for "a look of John Burrows" (thanks to the Oxford database of all its reference books, as multiple other tries ended up blank): <br>

<br>It turns out that 










<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Georgia">in Trollope’s <i>The Vicar of Bullhampton</i>
(1870), John Burrows is a notorious jailbird, also called ‘Jack the Grinder’,
who is convicted of the murder of Farmer Trumbull.</span>



<br><br>So, that seems right--a good shorthand way to indicate someone looks like a career criminal while at the same time remaining in the bounds of what one could say in Clarissa's drawing room.<br><br>That's the treat. Now, my query: does anyone have anything clever, relevant, or interesting to add about Woolf on Trollope? I'd be most grateful for your thoughts. Her words on him are few and I'm not turning up much of enough significance to add to the footnote, except to say---what? She knew his work but didn't particularly admire it? Well, duh....<br>

<br>All best to you in the New Year,<br><br>Anne<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div><span style="font-family:sans-serif"><a href="http://www.fordham.edu/academics/programs_at_fordham_/english/faculty/english_faculty/anne_fernald_28537.asp" target="_blank">Anne E. Fernald</a></span><br>
