[Vwoolf] Re thread 'Unearthed poems by Virginia'

[Oliver, Sophie [sophieo]]

Hello

It’s a press release rather than an article, written by the university’s press office. Things get condensed, details lost…

Dear Sophie I am wondering if you know who wrote this article that’s on the Liverpool University’s website? https: //news. liverpool. ac. uk/2025/01/16/poems-unearthed-by-university-of-liverpool-researcher-reveal-virginia-woolfs-lighter-side/ I

Dear Sophie

I am wondering if you know who wrote this article that’s on the Liverpool University’s website?

I am only asking because it contains the same statement, such as that Woolf ‘dismissed poetry as an art form” which Mark Hussey commented on, not in regards to your TLS article but connected to the one I sent originally.

I think that it is a shame that Liverpool University would make such a blunt statement , when even Emily Kopley writes in her introduction of “Virginia Woolf and Poetry” what her book doesn’t do. She writes, ‘ It declares no final word on Woolf’s relation to poetry, genre or form.’

It’s just really strange that somehow the article of the University of Liverpool does.

Hi Mark



Just responding to the thread as I’m on the list. I found the poems and wrote the piece about them in the TLS. Woolf’s ambivalence about poetry, including sometimes her sniffiness about it, seemed to me compellingly documented in Emily Kopley’s Virginia Woolf and Poetry (2021).
