Dear Matthew,
I don't know if Woolf attended these lectures, but I was on an MLA panel last January called "Eminent Victorians at 100." One of the other panelists spoke on Lytton Strachey and Andre Maurois: Eminent Modernists in Search of the Biographical Truth." She was very knowledgeable. If you search the 2018 panels online, you'll find her contact information.

Dear all,
I was wondering if somebody might help me with a question regarding Woolf's movements in May 1928.
That month Andr? Maurois gave six lectures at Trinity College, Cambridge, on 'Aspects of Biography' (published in 1929 by Cambridge University Press). I am trying to find out whether Woolf attended the lectures. Neither the diary or the letters are much help in this instance; the diary for May is patchy at best; and the letters (like the diary) only mention seeing Maurois at a tea party given by Lady Colefax before Whitsun.
The only clue I can find is the diary entry for Thursday 31 May, where Woolf writes: 'No I cannot read Proust at the moment--'. Proust is central to Maurois's lecture on 'Modern Biography'. Could there be a connection there?
With best wishes,
Matthew

Dear Woolfians,
If you're around New York City and in midtown, this may be of interest:
Tomorrow's matinee of Fordham Theatre Presents: "Orlando" a wonderful play
by Sarah Ruhl is raising funds for the Sylvia Rivera Law Project (SRLP), a
group that works to guarantee that all people are free to self-determine
gender identity and expression, regardless of income or race, and without
facing harassment, discrimination or violence." Even if you can't make it,
please consider donating $5 to the SRLP.
All best,
Anne
