<DIV>I recommend buying the catalogue/book that accompanies the exhibition, esp.
if you can’t go to it, because it includes images of most of the exhibits.</DIV>

<DIV>Although I have not (yet?) read it all, I agree strongly with:</DIV>

<DIV>“Whether this was damaging or not, there is no evidence of sexual abuse.
... More harmful, perhaps, to her sense of self was George’s sustained attack on
her failure to match up with his ideas as to how a young lady of her class
should dress and behave.” (p. 45)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It’s coercion by others that Woolf tries to resist all through her life,
once she has escaped to Bloomsbury. (Thus, I even experience a kind of
“Schadenfreude” when she *has* to visit her mother-in-law!)</DIV>

am very much looking forward to seeing the exhibition. In fact I am doing
so on Saturday August 30 about 11 am with a group of Stanford undergraduates; we
are doing a short course on Bloomsbury at King's. Shortly after twelve the
group will probably have an informal lunch at the National Gallery Cafe next
door which is bigger than the NPG cafe. Should some Woolfians like to join
us, they would be welcome. Then Stuart is taking the group on a Bloomsbury
walk. I can't believe he'd object to a few Woolfians coming along. It does
seem a rather Bloomsbury year with the exhibit, the cookbook, and the Memoir
book.<BR><BR>Other than on that weekend when we are also going to Tilton,
Charleston, Bewick, and Monk's House, we will be in residence at King's
Cambridge August 27-September 15 and if any Woolfians are in Cambridge during
that period they would be welcome to join us informally for lunch or dinner in
the King's Hall. Also on Friday September 5 at 5 we are having a reception
at Newnham with the Dadie Rylands' table on which Virginia lunched and Frances
Spalding should be giving us a short talk. We are paying ten pounds a head for
that event and a few Woolfians would be welcome to join us for that
fee!<BR><BR>my best, Peter<BR><BR>On 8/4/2014 11:16 PM, Mark Hussey wrote:

<P class=MsoNormal>Frances Spalding has done a wonderful job of creating a
narrative through visual artefacts. Those photos by Ott can actually be
seen on the NPG website, I believe. I was surprised by Mark Gertler’s
painting of Koteliansky (‘Kot’): quite irrationally I had always imagined Kot
as an ascetic and tiny man, but in this portrait he looks like a big burly
businessman! There are some real rarities in the show—the bound volumes
of letters that Violet Dickinson returned to VW late in life; I had not ever
known Violet annotated these (of course, under glass one can only see a page,
but the prospect is tantalizing); also the actual Gestapo list on which L
& VW’s names appear. And yes, the catalog is very rich and
interesting. I am in London doing research for a biography of Clive
Bell, so was lucky to be able to see this wonderful exhibition.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">Diana, I was lucky enough to
have my trip to London coincide with the exhibit. I wish it had not been
so crowded, as it was hard to pace myself, but I was so glad to get the
chance! The book that Spalding has compiled for the exhibit would be
worth the while, I think, and is likely available online through the
NPG. It's very well curated, with some rare pieces, including candid
shots from Ottoline Morrell's photo album. I think the impromptu snaps
of Virginia are often so much more interesting than those she posed for.
