[Vwoolf] A Book of Literary Confessions: Virginia Woolf and Margaret Kennedy’s handwritten opinions unearthed | The Independent

[Sarah M. Hall]

 Ah, you saw right through my ploy to drive traffic to the article, Jeremy. Long story short, it is to rhyme to 'pith', because of certain remarks ES made in a letter, slightly irritated with people who pronounced it 'to rhyme with scythe' (VWB 58, May 2018, p. 47).

And the way to spread the word is by not telling those of us without easy access to the source mentioned how to pronounce the name, SMH? I think that that's what's called a teaser . . . My guess: it rhymes with pith.

  Yes, well done Stuart for solving one of the most common misattributions!  
  Now we just have to spread the word about the pronunciation of Ethel SMYTH (Stephen Barkway, Virginia Woolf Bulletin no. 58, May 2018).
