[Vwoolf] Mrs Dalloway copyright? (UK)

[Sarah M. Hall]

UK copyright in literary works expires 70 years after the author's death for all publications within the author's lifetime, so Mrs D and TTL are both out of copyright now. Until 1992, copyright expired 50 years after the author's death, so VW's works went out of copyright then back in again in 1991/2; now back out since 1 Jan 2012. 

For anything published posthumously, I would check with the Society of Authors, who are very helpful: http://www.societyofauthors.org

Hello Leslie,

Copyright on all of Woolf's works published during her lifetime expired 
in Canada in 1992.  There are several potential complications for the UK 
and USA, but I should think copyright expires on December 31st this 
year.  (that's not advice)

I believe Woolf actually went out of and then back into copyright in the 
UK, though I'd want to check that...

All best,
James
