I'm no expert on copyright in general or in the case of Woolf. But
in the UK work published after the death of the author remains in
copyright 70 years after first publication. In Woolf's case this
would I assume apply to some diary material and letters, and any
fiction unpublished at her death. In addition, a new, scholarly
edition of a work may be copyright even if the work was first
published during the author's lifetime and the author has been dead
for more than 70 years. How different a scholarly edition has to be
to claim copyright is a matter for lawyers, but significant
incorporation of e.g. manuscript material may be used to claim
copyright in such cases.<br>
