<p>Worderful poster Stuart! Even gets a man in shirt-sleeves in. And
the poem quoted from in dim script is "Sanctuary" by William
Cowper, whose poem "The Castaway" is quoted from by Mr Ramsay - so
a double whammy in Woolf terms!</p>

<div>Woolf certainly meant it in the pejorative sense. I
always think of her hyperbolic description of Little
Talland House in Firle:</div>

<div>‘This is not a cottage, but a hideous suburban
villa — I have to prepare people for the shock.’ <br>

<p>Re the recent exchange about VW's view of
bungalows. In <i>The Waves</i> Neville says:
"Alas! I could not ride about India in a sun
helmet and return to a bungalow." I used to
assume that he meant "retire to a bungalow in
England," but Woolf doubtless knew that the word
is of Indian (Hindi) origin, so the imagined
bungalow is presumably in India not the home
counties, and returned to not on retirement but
at close of day.<br>
<br>
Another tricky dwelling term is "villa," a word
that seems largely to have dropped out of (Real)
Estate jargon in the UK, but that survives in
many road names ("Riverside villas" etc etc).
Again in <i>The Waves</i>, Jinny says "Look –
all the windows of the villas and their
white-tented curtains dance [. . .]. There are
bowers and arbours in these villa gardens and
young men in shirt-sleeves on ladders trimming
roses." I again used to think that these would
be gardeners working for posh families: my
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary gives among
other definitions: "a large house in a town" for
"villa." The old SOED also gives "country house
or farm, country mansion or residence . . .
hence any residence of a superior type . . .
such as is occupied by a person of the middle
class," but it adds: "also any small
better-class dwelling house, usu. one which is
detached or semi-detached." I take it that this
is what Jinny sees: the men in shirt-sleeves are
middle-class owner-occupiers, not of large
houses or country mansions, but of small(ish)
houses with gardens. Right?<br>
