[Vwoolf] Re thread 'Unearthed poems by Virginia'

and I guess false statements made, unless you don’t agree with me on that?. If you don’t, it would be interested to know on what ground, purely because it is an opportunity to learn. But if you agree with me, don’t you think that the University of Liverpool should change that. After all it is where you teach and are the professor on whose this article was made of.
That this article comes from a university which is supposed to teach its students about proper research and writing, it seems quite wrong that it can afford making such mistakes. It surely highlights the findings but in the wrong light, and for wrong reason.
This type of error, if it comes from a paper can be easily ignored ( perhaps in style of Mark Hussey’s comment, “Where do they find them”)  but when it comes to a university, a small error in this case becomes a big one.
Universities should be more careful about being the source in spreading the wrong information.

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 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

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).
