Thank you for this, Mark; it's maddening to see these kinds of "quotes" which aren't really quotes at all, then, be repeated as "facts. " It's relentless and exhausting, so thanks for doing that work. - Jean On</div>

<div dir="ltr"><div>With so many Woolfians in the UK recently for the Sussex conference, some may have heard a programme on BBC Radio 4 ('Three Transformations of Virginia Woolf'). In the 2nd episode, broadcast on Tuesday July 8, Alison Light, speaking about Woolf's relations with servants, said that she uses the word 'vermin' in connection with servants. This is no more true than Merve Emre's claim in her annotated <i>Mrs Dalloway </i>that Woolf used the word "coolies" "liberally" in her diary (it's not used there at all). 'Vermin' and 'verminous' appear in a number of instances in Woolf's writing but not describing servants. Ever. This is how rumors start!</div><div><br></div><div>(My thanks to Marielle O'Neill for searching the online complete works before I could get back to my CD-Rom, where I confirmed the above!)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.markhusseybooks.com__;!!KGKeukY!2ymZQeIbG6488AseqG0pIjm5zDHbS3qBM0jaaWaR3fEp2P46gpYm58JqJZcv_tZSd5LrpnAFTXSBaXemXDHv$" target="_blank">www.markhusseybooks.com</a><div><i>Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a Novel </i>2025</div><div> <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526176813/__;!!KGKeukY!2ymZQeIbG6488AseqG0pIjm5zDHbS3qBM0jaaWaR3fEp2P46gpYm58JqJZcv_tZSd5LrpnAFTXSBaXvh3uQf$" target="_blank">https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526176813/</a></div></div></div></div>
