[Vwoolf] Woolf in Norway / E. M. Forster and VW

Wed Jan 15 10:21:46 EST 2025

 Thanks, Harish, that looks to be a fascinating book, and I wish you the best of luck with it. The Passage to India/Mrs Dalloway link is a very good area for research, but I think I was one of the first to make the connection, in a (sadly unpublished) university dissertation written in 1985, 'comparing and contrasting' the works of VW and EMF. This was before computers had been properly invented,* so it was all longhand. I photocopied it but lent the photocopy to a flattering friend who never returned it. I've often wondered what I would make of it now, and usually come to the conclusion that it's a mercy it was lost, allowing me to daydream that it would have been a great contribution to the scholarly community. After all, no one can prove differently.

* Three years earlier, my school had one single computer of which they were inordinately proud. It was kept in a small locked room, and was used only by a couple of specially trained students, who applied to the Head of Sixth Form for the key to the room. I saw The Computer once, from a distance, and never again.

 Here's another Forster, based on a photo taken in India in 1922. 
Apologies for the book-/self-/promotion, but I am trying to connect the two dots that A Passage to India and Mrs Dalloway were published within a year of each other, by authors who were close (if critical) friends.

Totally agree there with you Sarah. E. M. Forster has for example a distinguished nose when shown in profile (as seen in the photo attached) which is a dominant feature, yet in the drawing it is not quite really captured that well.

The pics are imaginative representations based (at least in some cases) on photographs. The intention is illustrative rather than realistic, I suppose.

Struggling to find any trace of E. M. Forster in his portrait though!

This week there are 3 pages on Virginia Woolf by Swedish writer Peter Englund, concentrating on Woolf's struggles with "The Years" as detailed in her diary. The link below takes you to the front of the supplement, which contains a portrait that to my eye looks nothing like Woolf. In addition, the main body of the newspaper contains a couple of pages about D. H. Lawrence, so Norwegian lovers of the 20th century English novel have plenty to enjoy over the weekend.
