[Vwoolf] London's Most Salacious Thinkers...

[Jeremy Hawthorn]

 From messy love triangles to the abandonment of traditional narrative 
form in half a dozen paragraphs. No doubt the Dreadnought hoax led 
straight to stream-of-consciousness technique too.

Some years ago the British /New Statesman/ had a competition in which 
readers had to write an editorial in the style of the /Sun/ tabloid 
newspaper attacking post-structuralism. One submission I remember 
included something like this: "Three things have made Britain great. The 
Army, the Empire, and narrative closure." I thought at the time that 
Woolf might have liked that.

Heigh ho.
