[Vwoolf] Anthony Daniels

[Stuart N. Clarke]

I’m surprised this article is being discussed again after all those years.

See some responses:

Mark reviewed the book in which the article was reprinted: see “Woolf Studies Annual”, Vol. XIII (2007), 208-12.

Oddities: aren’t his book or books on the Raj well thought-of?  why chose a pseudonym?  because he was a doctor?

"Theodore Dalrymple is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute [“a conservative think tank”, said Mark] and a contributing editor of 'City Journal'. He is a retired physician who, most recently, practiced in a British inner-city hospital and prison. Dalrymple has written a column for 'The Spectator' (London) for many years ..."

Why chose a pseudonym that emphasises his relationship to Woolf?  Or did he want to emphasise his relationship to the Raj?

His great-great-grandmother was Sophia Pattle.
