[Vwoolf] Woolf and Maurois

Fri Nov 16 14:17:40 EST 2018

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
