subjects covered in Edward Arber’s anthology <i class="">An English Garner</i>; WN 102
is a short sketch reflecting on Woolf’s reading of D H Lawrence’s <i class="">Sons and
Lovers</i> in 1931. We have also been
able to digitise the extensive notes on imperialism and international trade
that Virginia Woolf made, in her capacity as a research assistant for the
preparation of Leonard Woolf’s <i class="">Empire and Commerce in Africa </i>(1920), and
