<DIV>There’s lots of talk in the UK about the new TV adaptation of Nancy
Mitford’s The Pursuit of Love. I posted about it on the VWSGB Facebook page
because the first episode featured a character reading Orlando (from which she
quoted a line to her dissolute friend), then later Mrs Dalloway. Cover images
were cobbled together from Bell’s illustrations for Woolf books.<BR><BR>Philip
Ward of The Mitford Society has posted this message underneath my
post:<BR><BR>There’s a reference to Woolf in Love in a Cold Climate, the sequel
to The Pursuit of Love. Lady Montdore asks Fanny who is this Virginia Woolf
she’s heard about from Lord Merlin. Fanny tells her she’s a novelist. Lady M:
“As she’s so intellectual, no doubt she writes about nothing but station-masters
... I prefer books about society people”. Whereupon Fanny recommends Mrs
Dalloway, “a fascinating book about a society person”.<BR><BR><BR>The Woolf /
Mitford link has not gone unnoticed elsewhere. If anyone possesses this book:
Virginia Woolf and the Common(wealth) Reader, ed. Helen Wussow and Mary Ann
Gillies (Liverpool UP, 2014), you can find the article ‘ “Drawn from Our Island
History”: Virginia Woolf, Nancy Mitford, and the Politics of Pageantry’, by
Erica Delsandro.<BR><BR><BR>Sarah M. Hall<BR>Virginia Woolf Society GB</DIV>
