[Vwoolf] stop or dash?

[Margaret Tudeau]

An early reviewer of Jacob’s Room who refers to Woolf’s ‘dot-and-dash method’ is cited by Henry Woodhuysen in an interesting article that looks at her use of both (dot and dash):
Woudhuysen, H. R.  ‘Punctuation and Its Contents: Virginia Woolf and Evelyn Waugh’, Essays in Criticism, 62:3 (July 2012): 221–47.
