[Vwoolf] did Woolf read the Gita?

[Caroline Webb]

Hi Eileen,

Has Ruth looked at Virginia Woolf’s Reading Notebooks, ed. Brenda Silver?  That’s the most likely source for this information, I believe.

Subject: [Vwoolf] did Woolf read the Gita?

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
