<br>
Dear Woolfians,<br>
<br>
Re. the discussion of editions of Woolf for teaching.<br>
<br>
I find the Oxford World Classics good for teaching. They usually have a<br>
readable introduction by a good scholar, and the notes are generally useful<br>
and useable but not overwhelming. The font has become rather tiny in recent<br>
years, which is difficult for some readers (not least we ageing teachers)<br>
but apart from that issue I think they are usually very good.<br>
<br>
Do lecturers in the US find the Oxford World Classics useful?<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Trudi<br>
