My friend Ruth Vanita asked if anyone on the Woolf list might have the
answer. Here's her question:

Where can I find a thoroughgoing report on Woolf's reading/library? I want
to find out whether she had read the Gita. Given that it had been
translated and circulated for so long before her time, and so many writers,
including Eliot and Yeats, were immersed in it, it seems likely that she
did. But I'd like to be sure, and also to find out which translation she
read if she did.

Thanks in advance,

Eileen
