Subject: [Vwoolf] Rent or own?


Do we know if the Ramsays were renting the house in the Hebrides, or if they owned it? I had always assumed their ownership of the place, for a number of reasons. Yet the text says “Never mind, the rent was precisely twopence half-penny; the children loved it; it did her husband good to be three thousand, or if she must be accurate, three hundred miles from his libraries and his lectures and his disciples” (29)…so they were renting the property?

I'm not finding any evidence that "rent" is another word for, say, mortgage payment....

Edition I’m using: Harcourt 1990.
