Hello there

following:

*Virginia Woolf Winter Walk*: ‘Oxford Street Tide’ — from Oxford Street to
Bloomsbury on Saturday 25 January 2025, 10am.

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 <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nightbirdpress.com/__;!!KGKeukY!1lapOQUcFizZ-JMHZSrFKPkfPFDz05nTWIf6MuOjL28zeTuSI0m9898U_ZhXuYLTQ-uv2ZjE_Kun7pYR_Jz0DsTznKo$ > 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

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.

With my best wishes

Louisa
