[Vwoolf] Virginia Woolf and "the world broke in two"

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Of course, I haven’t seen the book, but I wonder about this:

‘A child’s voice in “Jacob’s Room,” disrupting a painter trying to paint, originates in the irritating children outside Woolf’s own window.’

L1 345 (1908) seems too early; D1 152 (1918) is not especially convincing – unless I’ve missed something somewhere else.

And this:

‘After the war, Virginia Woolf claimed to have “burst out laughing” at the sound of Tennyson.’

It must be referring to 1929, in “Room”.

Interesting take on "personal battles" by Woolf et al.
Looking forward to the eclipse on 21 August--
