<div>Dear all Woolfians, </div>
<div>I would like to draw your attention to my new book Walking Virginia Woolf’s London: An investigation in literary geography, published by Palsgrave Macmillan. The back cover text sounds as follow: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div class="springer-html">
<p>This innovative volume employs theoretical tools from the field of literary geography to explore Virginia Woolf’s writing and the ways in which she constructs her human subjects. It follows the routes of characters from <i>The Voyage, Jacob’s Room, Mrs.
Dalloway, To the Lighthouse </i>and more as they walk around London, demonstrating how Woolf constructs the characters in her stories in a very politically conscious way. As Larsson argues, none of Woolf’s characters are able to walk just anywhere, at any
time in history, or at any time of the day. Time, place, gender, and class form the conditions of life that the characters must accept or challenge.</p>
<p>Featuring an array of detailed maps, <i>Walking Virginia Woolf’s London: An Investigation in Literary Geography </i>brings a fascinating new perspective to Virginia Woolf’s work. It is essential reading for scholars of modernist literature or geocriticism. </p>

<p>Below is a guide to living in Bloomsbury (if you can afford it). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The article uses the contested moniker Bloomsbury Set (not Group) and also garbles the phrase regarding those delightful Bloomsberries who "lived in squares, painted in circles, and loved in triangles," a phrase that Dorothy Parker did
<i>not</i> devise. The article says that the Group members "lived in <i>houses</i>" (as opposed to tents, perhaps?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may have said this on the VW listserve before, but it's worth saying again that the original version of that phrase seems to have been coined by Margaret Irwin. Kingsley
<span style="font-size:12pt">Martin indicates in the piece he wrote on 20 March 1941 for the “Critic’s London Diary” in the New Statesman that: “Certainly it is no longer what Margaret Irwin used to describe in the twenties as the place where ‘all the couples
were triangles and lived in squares’” (94).
