[Vwoolf] A Bloomsbury real-estate article

Thu Oct 26 09:33:11 EDT 2017

Thanks, Mark. Very glad to hear you're still hard at work on the CB biog.
Regarding the 'alternative' verbs that have emerged to describe certain things, my least favourite are the rather violent 'ripping' or 'burning' of CDs. No doubt the seeming drama appeals to people who want to be thought to be doing something more active than sitting at a computer. Let's face it, digital folks, you're only copying files.

The article says that the Group members "lived in houses" (as opposed to tents, perhaps?) I may have said this on the VW listserve before, but it's worth saying again that the original version of that phrase seems to have been coined by Margaret Irwin. Kingsley Martin indicates in the piece he wrote on 20 March 1941 for the “Critic’s London Diary” in the New Statesman that:  “Certainly it is no longer what Margaret Irwin used to describe in the twenties as the place where ‘all the couples were triangles and lived in squares’” (94).
