[Vwoolf] Conrad

[Christine Froula]

... and, of course, Woolf described the Polish Conrad as "our guest" and 
"a better writer than the rest of us put together"... I have a few pages 
on Woolf's reading of Conrad in relation to The Voyage Out in /VW and 
the Bloomsbury Avant-Garde/ (and some on Conrad and The Waves in a 
forthcoming piece); the Lord Jim =} Jacob connection seems intriguing; 
do you find close textual echoes?
