<DIV>A hearty grateful thanks to Eileen Barrett, Anne Fernald, Roy Johnson, Lois
Gilmore and Helen Southworth. I now have the courage to do it as I now
have a number of ways that seem to be very workable. It's not that I've not
taught in colleges for decades -- I first taught in 1972, and was for say 8
years in the CUNY NYC system, and I taught in Virginia at George Mason for 17
years and before that (or during that time for a few years) at American
University, but I've not tried with an older group of people this non-realistic
book. Many older readers expect realism in their novels, and will be all at sea
with long passages that don't conform either to traditional biography/ history r
a traditional novel. I wanted ways to get round this. I did think of pictures: I
have in my house Vita Sackville-West's book on Knoles with many black-and-white
photos, and her child's book A Note of Explanation, which is a beautiful picture
book that is said to be part of the inspiration for Orlando.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I wonder if Lois could tell me which miscellany her article is in. I have a
bunch going way back (paper copies) and could find it that way.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've saved all the methods suggested.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've been a member of the Society for several years now and only three days
ago thought of finding this listserv, and joining it. Such a place is a
wonderful resource for information.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So another query: come to think of it, the one Woolf novel I've not been
able to find a recorded audiobook available to an individual consumer is Between
the Acts. There is one available to libraries. On Orlando, alas, there is only
an abridged audiobook no unabridged one, and I regarde unabridged ones as worse
than wastes of time. There are otherwise some beautifully read recordings of the
books unabridged, most still available as CDs or MP3s. I love to listen to the
books too.</DIV>
