the founding of the Virginia Woolf Society--and now you can
read online Morris Beja's account of the initial stages of the
plan to launch a society (see "The Virginia Woolf Society: A
Report" published in the <i>VWM</i> Summer 1976, Issue 5, page
6). Similarly, Merry Pawlowski's special issue on Woolf and
fascism (<i>VWM</i> 44 Fall 1994) offers an early contribution
to the increasingly important discussion of Woolf and
anti-Semitism (see for example the special topic in <i>WSA
</i>2013).</span></div>

1, 5, 44, 58, 60 and 61 (for the record, Issue 60 is actually
Issue 59, accidentally mis-numbered). I have almost all of the
issues in hand in reasonably good condition, but to make the
collection of online issues whole, I will need some generous
Woolfians to contact me privately if they possess hard copies
of Issues 2, 4, 25, 38 in their original print format, not a
photocopy. </span></div>
