[Vwoolf] Woolf & Author Questionnaire

[Mark Scott]

>From what I am seeing, this quote from Willliam Mackesy is incorrect:  “TS Eliot is only mentioned by one participant, and then as both the worst living English poet and the worst living critic of literature.”  Woolf listed Eliot as the best living critic of literature along with Clive Bell.  I don’t see that she wrote his name in any of her answers to the questions about English poets.

Woolf’s answers to questions 22 and 23 are amusing, although, having read quite a few of the novels by the author in question, I can somewhat understand her stance.

Greetings,

I can't remember whether this has been noted in the listserv yet, but, enjoy. Woolf's responses, pictured, are wonderful; see especially #s 22 & 23. 

Best,

Kristin
