Thanks so much, Anne, for bringing attention to this important topic, and to all who have responded with articles, books, and memories we can bring into our classes as well.

<div class="">And lest we forget how nicknames as racial slurs still serve the bonding rituals of educated men, we need only look to last week’s

<div class="">When Stuart first sent this email, the subject line made me gasp. It was too close to the racial slur. Which made me wonder: might Lord Cecil's nickname be connected to the racial slur? Given the frequency of references to "n*** brown" as a descriptor
of clothing in the teens, twenties, and thirties, I think it might. I looked in the OED, and yes, "nig" is short for the racial slur:</div>

<div class="">As to why Lord Cecil might have that nickname, short of consulting the full bio, I can only conjecture. Was he darker complected than his family members? Was it because of his colonial work in Egypt? Or, like lots of nicknames, did it come from
some more obscure bit of personal history.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In any case, watching this conversation unfold simultaneously with some pretty sorry racial incidents of blackface here in the U.S. and it struck me that it would be disingenuous to pretend that Lord Cecil's nickname, Nigs, was unconnected to
the history of racism. </div>

<div class="">Ref. to Lord Edward Cecil, L1 189. For anything to do with the aristocracy & VW, it’s worth starting with a rarely referenced, but excellent book, RUDIKOFF, Sonya, "Ancestral Houses: Virginia Woolf and the Aristocracy" (1999).</div>

<div class="">Making the grenadier connection is even more persuasive. I think we might be able to search VW’s connections to the Cecils to find how close (as it were) she ever got to Lord Edward. Kitty Maxse’s husband Leo was a brother of Lady Violet, Lord
Edward’s wife.</div>

<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Thank you for your illuminating (and, to me, very persuasive) information on Lord Edward Cecil and Edward
<span id="gmail-m_-3327782520768600335gmail-m_-3769715498468171444:pt.1" class="">
Pargiter</span> of <i class="">The Years</i>.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Your reference to Lord Cecil and the Grenadier Guards makes me wish to add that I believe Woolf associated Kitty Malone in
<i class="">The Years </i>with Sir Walter Scott (Woolf's own diary "father"). Kitty's married name is
<span id="gmail-m_-3327782520768600335gmail-m_-3769715498468171444:pt.2" class="">
Lasswade</span> (name of Scott's home) and she much prefers the north over Oxford and London. Kitty is call "The Grenadier." In the British Army, a grenadier was a member of the first regiment of household infantry. Grenadiers were specially selected foot
soldiers in elite units who threw grenades. Thus Woolf links Kitty to both Scott and to female household battle.
</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Hope this adds. No doubt you can add more to this.</div>

<div class="">You will recall that that’s Eleanor’s nickname for Edward Pargiter in “The Years” (mentioned 4 times). Apparently, that was VWS and HN’s name for Nigel (see CUP edn 420 39:13). But why should that be a nickname for *Edward*?</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I’ve found a more persuasive inspiration for the nickname. The family called Lord Edward Cecil, Nigs, although I don’t know why. Perhaps if I looked up a biography, I would find out. Anyway, see here from the ODNB:</div>
