[Vwoolf] Mrs. vs Mrs

[Mark Hussey]

The period is there in the first UK and US editions (according to Kirkpatrick and Clarke), but it seems often to be omitted on the dustjacket copy of various editions (e.g. the Shakespeare Head).

Dear Woolfians,

 

There must have been discussion of this at some point that I am missing. 

 

Is it Mrs. Dalloway (with the period) or Mrs Dalloway (without)? The Cambridge edition uses "Mrs." and the Hogarth Press edition uses "Mrs" -- is one preferred over the other?

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Catherine
