[Vwoolf] Woolf in Harper's

[Mary Ellen Foley]

The *Virginia Woolf Bulletin* invites submissions of 'first encounters'
with Woolf; anyone interested in this discussion might also be interested
in writing about how they came to read Woolf or-- of course! --in reading
the *Bulletin*.

>From a 2007 issue that was the first to come to hand: "This is the
eighteenth in a series about first encounters with Virginia Woolf.  More
would be welcome.  How did you find her? What drew you to her? What did she
offer you?"

See http://www.virginiawoolfsociety.co.uk/vw_bulletin.htm for info on the *
Bulletin*.  Submission info can be found inside the back cover of any copy;
send by email to Stuart N Clarke at stuart.n.clarke at btinternet.com
