[Vwoolf] Woolf and Persephone Books

[Shannon, Drew [School of Arts & Humanities]]

And the section on the book itself on Persephone's website explains their rationale for publishing a book that can hardly be called "neglected"...

On a meta-level, though, Stephen, AROO is all about women, fiction, and neglect! so perhaps it can stand as Persephone's implicit mission statement--

Might A Room of One's Own appear to be a curious choice for this publisher?  This is the first line of their 'Welcome' statement from the home page of their website . . .

Persephone Books reprints neglected fiction and non-fiction by mid-twentieth century (mostly) women writers.
