[Vwoolf] Informal survey on teaching Eminent Victorians

[Pat Laurence]

Dear Todd & Woolfians,

In a course on "Victorian Conversations," I've taught Strachey's Florence
Nightingale in *EV i*n conversation with a section of Gillian Gill 's
*Nightingales:
The Extraordinary Upbringing and Curious Life of Miss Florence
Nightingale.*It stimulates discussion of Strachey's debunking of
Nightingale in the
context of Victorian biography, as well as evolving views of accomplished
women, Nightingale's extraordinary work in Crimea,  and biography now.

Best,
Pat Laurence
