I know nothing about the "Story-Teller", but VW would be more likely to have 
read it in "Cassell's Weekly", 11 Apr 1923.  Arnold Bennett's "Is the novel 
decaying?" (‘the characters [in "Jacob's Room"] do not vitally survive in 
the mind because the author has been obsessed by details of originality and 
cleverness’) was in the issue of 28 March; and extracts from her translation 
with Kot of "Talks with Tolstoi" on 18 & 25 Apr.

Hi All,

I thought this was great! Startling and in a good way so as to make me see, 
think and feel the words and their movement. What a great project!

I've also got a (less startling) question which is whether anyone knows if 
Woolf read the 'Story-Teller' magazine? I'm particularly interested in 
whether she read Mansfield's story, 'A Cup of Tea' published in the magazine 
in May 1922. Any info would be very welcome.

best wishes
Kathryn

Thankyou Stuart.

I think your reply captures one of the most marvellous aspects of VW's 
writing; at least for me. She absolutely makes me think and I love this. She 
demands attention and reflection. Such a treat in this age of 
supermarket-level publishing.

VW constantly surprises with the freshness and sharpness of her images; she 
forces the grey matter to stand up and dance.

So few modern novels get anywhere near this. I've read the Booker Shortlist 
for years and it's only an occasional novel that excites .... Sebastian Barry ... John Banville ... Hilary Mantel ....  and some others.

But VW stands supreme. In my ever so 'umble view ;-)

Thankyou for your ongoing support of the list. Always appreciated. Kind regards Jillian

We saw the 2 types of shell; it would have been good to have seen 2 types of 
plane, and “shavings from a plane”.  I can’t remember when I last saw 
“shavings from a plane” in real life.  It takes me back to my childhood.

The images certainly made me *think* about this sentence – not just read it.

Hi, Woolfians! Each semester I have my students do a creative project, and 
this semester, one student turned a famous passage from Mrs. Dalloway into a 
compelling piece of digital storytelling. I very much enjoyed it (especially 
the flower imagery) and would love to hear your thoughts, on or off list. 
View it here:

In a second, unrelated, note, I am putting together a syllabus for 
Masterpieces of British Literature next semester and want to focus on 
"nature and the artist." I have some ideas for texts, of course, but would 
love to hear if any of you have suggestions of British works that feature 
nature, and the artist in nature, in unusual or noteworthy ways.

Be well!
Erin
