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

Fri Jan 17 10:16:01 EST 2025

Thanks, Sarah, for sharing this, and for your good wishes.  Do try and
recover your dissertation; perhaps your university will let you photocopy
what you deposited there.

I too have a fortunately unpublished and grossly rambly Ph D dissertation
on VW which I completed at the University of Wales in 1975. But a small
section of it did get into print as a chapter titled "Forster and Virginia
Woolf: the Critical Friends" in the Forster birth-centenary volume edited
by Das and Beer (Macmillan 1979).

How long ago it all seems, when VW was not yet regarded as basically a
feminist!
