Though she was friends with Woolf, enjoyed her laughter and sense of fun, and admired her as a writer (she said "she was like no other"), she had reservations about Bloomsbury's style: its "smugness,"ingrowingness" and "godlessness" that sometimes made her "claustrophobic." And Woolf sometimes describes Bowen spitefully in her diary. When Charles Ritchie, one of Bowen's lovers, related in his journal that he told Bowen that Woolf had expressed no fondness for her, she remarked that she did not take offense, cooly noting "perhaps her affection was intermittent (as mine is for so many people)." Nevertheless, Woolf and Bowen relished each other's company--most of the time--from the early 1930s until weeks before Woolf's death.</div><div class="gmail_default">Pat Laurence</div><div class="gmail_default">(<i>Elizabeth Bowen, A Literary Life, 2020)</i></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 18, 2021 at 9:31 PM Neverow, Vara S. via Vwoolf <<a href="mailto:vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" target="_blank">vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
