[Vwoolf] Virginia Woolf: Critical and Primary Sources

[Stuart N. Clarke]

These sorts of collections are particularly relevant to university libraries who don’t take much in the way of literary periodicals, but even a library with an extensive collection (e.g. Senate House, U of London) won’t have all of these articles.

I shudder at the thought of the amount of work involved in compiling the 4 vols.

When Eleanor McNees’s 4-vol. “Critical Assessments” came out in 1994, I insouciantly asked a friend who had a set to photocopy the articles I didn’t have.  I have felt guilty ever since – there were almost 60!  In practice, the most useful of the articles for me has been (perhaps surprisingly) the transcript of the radio programme, "Portrait of Virginia Woolf" (1956).

I wonder if I can do better with this set:

Volume 1: 1975-1984
14 articles: 12 obtained, 1 knew about, 1 never heard of 

Volume 2: 1985-1994
20: 18 obtained, 2 knew about 

Volume 3: 1995-2004
17: 10 obtained, 7 knew about

Volume 4: 2005-2015
23: 13 obtained, 4 knew about, 6 never heard of 


I like to think that (most of) the 7 that I’ve never heard of are extracts from books.
