[Vwoolf] Editions of Mrs Dalloway with edited texts?

[Mark Hussey]

In Bonnie Kime Scott's Harcourt edition, she makes a number of textual
points in her annotations:
p18 re the change from White's to Brooks's "In the first English edition
(actually a new impression of the first edition printed by Hogarth Press in
September 1925) ..."
p80  restoring the break before "Poor old woman"  "Woolf marked her
American proofs 'leave 2 lines white' above this. The intended break was
hitherto masked by the inset quotation, above."
p91 "It was precisely twelve" "The first English edition had a section
break before this, though the corrected American proofs do not, and the
break may have not been intended by Woolf."
p182 "But where is Clarissa?" "The English edition has a section break
before this" (explanation follows about the break being called for on the
Raverat proof, but not on the American proof).

Also, in her "Note on the Text" for her Broadview edition, Jo-Ann Wallace
writes "I have chosen to take the first Hogarth Press dition as my
copy-text, retaining even the errors" (42),
