“No doubt we should be, on the whole, much worse off than we are without our astonishing gift for illusion. At the age of twelve or so, having given up dolls and broken our steam engines, France, but much more probably Italy, and India almost for a certainty, draws the superfluous imagination.“

“Jacob’s Room”, ch. xii

Before this thread runs out, may I offer a nagging semi-quotation from rusty memory:

'India, like Italy, exercises the superfluous imagination.'  

I thought  it was from The Years but maybe not.  Shall be grateful for the source.

Seems to sum up E. M. Forster's oeuvre anyhow.

  Hi All,
  I have a quick question from a colleague. Any ideas?


  "Ten to twenty years ago, someone in a creative writing handbook demonstrated the power of third person narrative by rewriting the first few pages of Mrs. Dalloway into first person.  Does anyone know who did that and what book it was in?"

  Thanks,
  Helen
