[Vwoolf] inquiry

[Stuart N. Clarke]

“On Being Ill” is out of copyright *in the UK*.  The law in the US is beyond me.  It was published as a “separate” in the UK, but not in the US.  Remember all the carry-on over the Folcroft and Norwood editions ("The Pirates of Philadelphia"; "Priestley - who is he? asks book pirate") in 1979-80?  It depends where this new book is being published, and copyright is a matter for the publisher to establish.

Dear Shahd Alshammari— 

My understanding is that the actual text is no longer copyrighted; however, given the number of new editions, many edited and including notes and introduction, I am forwarding your enquiry to the Woolf listserv and opening it up to my colleagues.

With best wishes in these fraught times—stay safe—

  Dear Karen,

  I was hoping you could help me out with this question. Virginia Woolf's "On Being Ill" is copyrighted? Would I be able to quote from it for a book and include it without permissions? Would love your advice. 


  I apologize in advance for the unsolicited email. I came across the website and thought I would ask.



  All best,
