The 1990 Hogarth Press edition of To the Lighthouse (in the "Definitive Collected Edition") has a list of variants between the first American and first British editions. One of the variants occurs in part I, section 18, in the last sentence of the paragraph that begins "Now, she whispered, crossing over to his bed". According to the list of variants, the first British edition has "Woulf they go" and the American edition has "Would they go" - and the British variant is preceded by an asterisk, indicating that the Hogarth edition uses the American variant. But I can't find any edition that has "Woulf they go": the first, third, and fourth British impressions don't have it; a 1977 impression that I found on my shelf doesn't have it. Where on earth did the anonymous editor of the 1990 Hogarth edition find this? Any enlightenment will be gratefully received.

Haule and Smith did not use 1st editions, which shows how Woolfian textual scholarship had not really got off the ground at that time. For TL they compared the 1964 Harvest with the 1977 Hogarth. The variation in question is on p. 19 (of the hb book which contains the microfilms): 173.13 Harvest, 178.14 Hogarth. I don?t have the 1977 Hogarth, but the 1974 reprint has ?Would?.

A Winter Walk on Virginia Woolf?s birthday and to celebrate the publication of the pamphlet Virginia Woolf in the City: Oxford Street Tide (Night Bird Press Louisa Albani, 2025). Liz Ison will lead participants on a walk through the bustling area around Oxford Street to the quieter Bloomsbury streets ending in Tavistock Square Gardens. The walk is inspired by Louisa?s pamphlet which is in turn a reimagining of Woolf?s essay Oxford Street Tide. We will go in search of the London streets and places that served as literary inspiration for Virginia Woolf as well as the shops that she liked to frequent when she was in need of a new hat or pair of gloves, or some books to read. ?The garishness and gaudiness of the great rolling ribbon of Oxford Street has its fascination. It is like the pebbly bed of a river whose stones are forever washed by a bright stream. Everything glitters and twinkles.? From Virginia Woolf?s Oxford Street Tide Participants will receive a signed copy of the Night Bird Press pamphlet Virginia Woolf in the City: Oxford Street Tide. You can book your place on Night Bird Press website. Tickets are ?30 per person. Virginia Woolf Winter Walk ticket purchase link Just a reminder that the VWSGB has its Annual Birthday Lecture in Bloomsbury in the afternoon - so members or non-members might like to make a day of it and take part in the morning walk as well. I have waited over 4 years to find an opportunity to publish this pamphlet - and am so happy that it is happening in the year of the 100th anniversary of the publication of *Mrs Dalloway*. Mark Hussey, whose 'Mrs Dalloway?: Biography of a Novel will be published by Manchester University Press in May next year, has contributed a wonderful piece to the pamphlet, which will also include Derek Ryan's piece on Virginia Woolf, Bloomsbury and bookshops. If you have any questions, please do let me know.

From Roger Fry to G. L. Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, and Vanessa Bell, the Orient became a source of aesthetic interest and problematized politics. French Orientalism and Proust initially corroborated the experiences of Woolf in Constantinople and Leonard Woolf in Ceylon, soon to be revised by new views of Imperial authority. Yet Bloomsbury and the Orient artistically depended on each other, at one point Fry scolding Bloomsbury and England that ?we can no longer hide behind the Elgin marbles and refuse to look at the art of China?. And look they did, from attending museum shows to collecting Oriental art and furniture, while adopting Oriental fashions???and, when possible, traveling to China and Japan marked by visits by Bertrand Russell, William Empson, and Harold Acton. The response of individual Bloomsbury writers to the Orient mixes curiosity and jealousy. To her nephew Julian Bell, teaching at Wuhan University, Woolf wrote that ?you are much to be envied. I wish I had spent three years in China at your age?. E. M. Forster's A Passage to India might also have some traces of relevance regarding Indian art. I hope this response is somewhat helpful.

The event at Sotheby?s will celebrate art and literature by the Bloomsbury group, with works for sale alongside loans from the collection at Charleston, near Firle. Radical Modernity: From Bloomsbury To Charleston, a private selling and loan exhibition in collaboration with Charleston, will highlight the ?indefatigable spirit of the Bloomsbury Group? across paintings, drawings, furniture, ceramics and literature by Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry, Virginia Woolf and Henry Lamb. As part of the exhibition, the historic farmhouse will be loaning some of its most significant pieces, many not usually on public view. They include recent acquisitions made as part of Charleston?s 50 for 50 campaign, a hunt for the best Bloomsbury works still in private collections to help mark the forthcoming 50th anniversary. In 2030, Charleston will celebrate 50 years since the charity that saved it was established. The Bloomsbury group was a circle of intellectuals including artists and writers in the 20th century. Charleston, the home and studio of painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, became one of the hubs where the group met. The Sotheby's exhibition is free and runs from November 9 to 26.

The image and the article you attached from H&G, which had photos of that sculpture from other angles too, are very helpful. And yes, it seems to be the Buddha all right, though the two hand-postures (*mudras*) seem to be only half-familiar to me for they are seldom shown to go together. The article on "Oriental Bloomsbury" may turn out to have something on the provenance of this piece of sculpture if and when I can access that article (it's beyond a hefty paywall, as usual), though it looks a little too broad in scope. (Dickinson, Russell, Empson, Acton -- all in Bloomsbury?) Has anyone read this article? As for Forster, he did see a fair bit of Indian sculpture *in situ* on his two visits to India in 1912-13 and 1021-22, before he published *A Passage to India*. But in that novel, he (creatively) erased even the carvings that actually are there on the Barabar caves, so as to make his Marabar caves primordially bare and featureless. When Forster was setting off on his second visit to India, Virginia Woolf said, perhaps half-jokingly and half-solicitously, that he might be leaving England forever. "He will become a mystic, sit by the roadside and forget Europe." Nothing like that happened, of course, and F remained very much a British Liberal sceptic. Despite its many "muddles," *Passage* " remains probably the best novel ever written about India by a Westerner, and therefore the closest that Bloomsbury got to India in creative terms. A collection of new essays has recently appeared to mark the centenary of its publication and it has about half a dozen passing references to Virginia Woolf, and a couple to Leonard too.

Anyhow yes, indeed, Elaine, the Avalokiteshvara, about-to-be-Buddha, is the prime suspect here. To confirm this, he is holding a lotus bud in one hand (and never mind if it is not a full-blown lotus flower as often shown). But he is pointing down with two fingers of his other hand, a posture not often associated with him. It's not touching-the-earth posture either, for which he'll need to be seated. And yes, the Avalokiteshvara is male to start with, as in India and in Charleston, but is later transformed into a female deity called Guan Yin in China and in the image you sent. There, s/he acquires instead, as shown in your image, a long-necked pot which is full of compassion and which she is often shown as holding upside down so that drops from it may fall on the suffering humanity. Once, I bought in Hong Kong a totally kitschy little statue of Guan Yin in which water was falling drop by slow drop into the mouth of a crocodile at G's feet, and then being recycled by some clever little Chinese technology hidden inside to her pot, so that the pot never emptied. To atone for this, I then bought a proper scholarly book on Guan Yin too. But the question remains: who in Bloomsbury could have brought that Buddha/Bodhisattva to Charleston? Best wishes.

In my research on China and Bloomsbury, I discovered Julian Bell?s response?not necessarily representative of Bloomsbury?to Forster?s *Passage to India*. I quote from my book: In another letter, Julian expressed virulent prejudice about the Indians while reading E.M. Forster's *Passage to India*, England's colonization of India sometimes generating intense feelings of Indian "inferiority." Though not shared by all in Bloomsbury, hostility toward Indians, and Julian's prejudice is representative of a certain English class. He wrote to Eddie Playfair: how glad I am to be among human beings [Chinese], not his [Forster's] revolting blacks [Indians]. What India needs is strong government- whips and firing squads-by a really fanatical group of English communists. If one could rout out their religion and philiprogenitiveness [i.e. large families]...China suffers too from this disease." (JB/EP 2.3.36). China, on the other hand, distant, in semi-colonial relationship with the British, never occupied the same psychological space of subject nation, subject people, as India. Bloomsbury, in general, favored Chinese aesthetics and culture, but you might look at my book, *Lily Briscoe?s Chinese Eyes: Bloomsbury, Modernism and China* that threads some commentary on India: influence on English gardens, role of Tagore, G.L. Dickinson, Chinese view (Crescent Moon group) of India as an alternative to British imperialism. Also, I recommend other transnational studies of the ?orient? that might be helpful to you beginning in 1995: Qian Xiaoming?s *Bloomsbury and Orientalism* (1995), a comparative study; Melba Cuddy Keane and Kay Li?s, ?Passage to China,? (1996) an exploration of the politics and culture of China and the work of Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson; Urmilla Seshagiri?s ?Orientalizing Woolf? (2010), a demonstration of how Woolf?s modernist aesthetics are shaped by race; Ira Nadel?s ?Oriental Bloomsbury,? an exploration of the multiple and contradictory responses of Bloomsbury to China (2018); Anne Witchard?s collection, *British Modernism and Chinoiserie* (2018), Sonita Sarker, *Women Writing Race, Nation and History* (2022); Wenjin Cui, *States of Disconnect: The China- India Literary Relation in the Twentieth Century* (2023).

That quote from Julian Bell is a gem ? even if it does not represent a more pervasive attitude in Bloomsbury! His political na?vet? is touching. Would the communists have done the bidding of capitalist-imperialists? And in 1935, the British parliament had already passed the Government of India Act which led to elections and representative fully Indian ministries being formed in the states in India in 1937, and it might have led to independence sooner than in 1947 had WW II not intervened. That Act enraged Kipling, but apparently many others were not far behind ? if not ahead of him. I?ll look out for your book, and also for some of the other publications you kindly mention. Meanwhile, many thanks again and best wishes.

There is more of India in *Mrs Dalloway* than in any other of Woolf's works, and teasingly and enticingly, it is all off-stage. I am re-reading the novel trying to piece together these references, both obliquely personal with regard to Peter Walsh and explicitly political with regard especially to the upcoming elections and the Labour party and what the Conservative "duffers" are going to do about India anyhow, etc. I also seek to connect it with what was going on in India at the time. I wondered if anyone here could recommend an article or two focused on this aspect of the novel specifically. I have only seen Supriya Chaudhuri's two articles and a couple of compact paragraphs in David Bradshaw's introduction to the World's Classics edition. I am also looking at Merve Emre's copious annotations, which seem not particularly well informed in this regard. Further, did Woolf record her opinion of any novels by her contemporaries which focus on India more directly and extensively, for example those by Kipling or Edward J. Thomspon? For that matter, did she record anywhere what she thought of *The Village in the Jungle*, or of *A Passage to India* privately (beyond what she says in her 1927 essay)? I am aware that Mark Hussey's *Mrs Dalloway: A Biography* is coming out next May, and can hardly wait to read it. Meanwhile, any appetisers would be welcome. Best wishes.

Another Woolf "sighting": on last night's episode of 'Jeopardy,' under the category of 'Epitaphs', the big clue was a quotation from Woolf's epitaph, and included the fact that it was in East Sussex. No one got it right, and one guessed 'Emily Dickinson', which they always do when the category involves a woman writer in England!

Pursuing my time-wasting distractions, I am trying to find all the editions of To the Lighthouse that have edited texts, not merely reprinted texts with or without explanatory notes. The ones I've found so far are these: 1990: the Hogarth Press "Definitive Collected Edition" (edited anonymously) 1992: Susan Dick's Shakespeare Head Press edition (based on the proofs of the American text) 1992: Margaret Drabble's Oxford World's Classics edition 1992: Stella McNichol's Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics edition 1994: Sandra Kemp's Routledge English Texts edition 2005: Mark Hussey's annotated Harcourt edition (based on the American text) 2006: David Bradshaw's Oxford World's Classics edition 2023: Margaret Homans' Norton Critical Edition (based on the American text) Perhaps there are others? I haven't seen the Folio Society edition. Broadview Press merely photo-offsets the American text. The modern Everyman's Library edition seems to say nothing about its text. The Cambridge UP edition is still awaited. Again, I am not looking for texts that have explanatory notes only, but no notes on or discussions of the state of the actual text.
