Mark Hussey is the general editor of the series and a different renowned Woolf scholar introduces each individual novel and writes the annotations. It’s helpful for students to have these annotations, I’ve found, as well as these fabulous introductions. (Not only do many students not understand the historical or geographical contexts to Woolf’s novels, but they don’t understand some of the customs and terminology. Here’s amazon’s link for the annotated edition of <i>The Waves</i>: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Waves-Annotated-Virginia-Woolf/dp/0156031574">https://www.amazon.com/Waves-Annotated-Virginia-Woolf/dp/0156031574</a> Personally, I always insisted that students all get exactly the same edition with the same ISBN, explaining to them that if I tell them to look on page 32, third line down, they’ll have no idea what I’m talking about if they have a different edition.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It’ll be interesting to see if I’m correct in my sense that most Woolf scholars based in the US use these annotated editions to teach the novels . . .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Very best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Brenda<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Brenda Helt<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Co-editor <i>Queer Bloomsbury</i><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:10.0pt'><a href="https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-queer-bloomsbury.html">https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-queer-bloomsbury.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Vwoolf [mailto:vwoolf-bounces+helt0010=umn.edu@lists.osu.edu] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Ellen Moody via Vwoolf<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, February 15, 2018 2:18 PM<br><b>To:</b> vwoolf@lists.osu.edu<br><b>Subject:</b> [Vwoolf] Best editions for students<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I have not yet taught that course on "The Later Woolf" I've been talking about; it starts in early March.
