[Vwoolf] Dallowday

[Anne Fernald]

As I have said here before, I’m of two minds about this:

1. I strongly disagree with those who confidently set the novel on one
date: David Bradshaw’s work, the work of others, and my own research show
pretty clearly that there was no Wed. that included the Royal Family being
on residence, the flower show, a heat wave, and hose cricket matches.

2. I love parties, celebrations, and celebrating Woolf and, if the Day were
asterisked as above and celebrated as say, the second or third Wed in June
annually, that would be really fun.

I can’t imagine anything other than Dallowday for the name.

Best,

Anne
