Who would have thought that someone would be interested in it, just by me posting a photo?. But what's nice is that one never knows, and funny enough whilst searching for Pope and Addison, I discovered something new for myself, on the way. Isn't that wonderful.

Before Reese Witherspoon and Zoella?s Book Clubs, there was Oprah Winfrey and Richard and Judy. And before them, there was Hugh Walpole and the Book Society. This is the story of Britain?s first celebrity book club and the judges who changed how we read. For forty years between 1929-1969, the Book Society chose from the best of world literature to mail out one book a month ? fiction, history, travel, or biography ? to subscribers in over thirty countries. The judges established what a good ?book club book? looked like: well-written, entertaining, informative; worth investing your time and money in, not too highbrow nor obscure. Making book-buying easier, they started a revolution. And the legacy of their taste is still with us on bookshelves today. Hugh Walpole, J. B. Priestley, Sylvia Lynd, Cecil Day-Lewis, and Edmund Blunden were the literary influencers of their day; household names whose personal lives, affairs, and politics informed their recommendations, mixing the personal and professional; social history with the domestic; love, disappointment, and war. They made global bestsellers with books that saw readers through Empire and the growth of fascism and antisemitism, the Great Depression, Spanish Civil War, and World War Two. Recommended! explores how a group of writers shook up the interwar book world, changing forever how we buy and think about books. ?A deeply researched, stylishly written piece of narrative history, full of detail and telling vignettes. The organisation ? around the five characters at the heart of the Book Society ? works wonderfully, giving an emotional richness to the story. An enormous pleasure to read, while also deepening immeasurably my understanding of the literary business of the interwar period out beyond the well-walked squares of Bloomsbury.?

This captivating exhibition of paintings, sculpture and ceramics includes work by a carfeully selected group of established gallery artists and invited guest artists, who have each immersed themselves in the timeless themes and motifs of Woolf's masterpiece. This cleverly constructed novel takes place within a twenty-four hour period - a Wednesday in mid-June 1923. The novel interweaves two seemingly unconnected storylines during this day. It is a poignant exploration of the human experience, where the past, present, and future converge; a complicated aspect of the challenge that faces these artists. Through a diverse range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, ceramics and mixed media, the participating artists offer fresh perspectives on the novel's central characters, their inner lives, and the societal context in which they exist. *Neil Wood* *What is this Ecstasy (Clarissa and Peter Walsh) * bronze 26 x 23 x 8cm *Richard Twose* *Green Dress* oil on canvas 110 x 90cm Price Range: ?750 - ?8,600 *Book Launch and Talk* *3 July, 2pm - 3pmMark Hussey, *Professor of English Emeritus at Pace University in New York launches his new book.

A lively introduction to this enduring classic, while providing Woolf lovers with a wealth of information about the novel's writing, publication and reception. It follows Woolf's process from the first stirrings in her diary through her struggles to create what was quickly recognised as a major advance in prose fiction. It then traces the novel's remarkable legacy to the present day. *Author * Mark Hussey is Distinguished Professor of English Emeritus at Pace University in New York.

Unless you have someone else to do it for you, to promote your work/event like in Maggie Humm?s case, which VW?s society of Turkey has kindly informed us about.

This captivating exhibition of paintings, sculpture and ceramics includes work by a carfeully selected group of established gallery artists and invited guest artists, who have each immersed themselves in the timeless themes and motifs of Woolf's masterpiece. This cleverly constructed novel takes place within a twenty-four hour period - a Wednesday in mid-June 1923. The novel interweaves two seemingly unconnected storylines during this day. It is a poignant exploration of the human experience, where the past, present, and future converge; a complicated aspect of the challenge that faces these artists. Through a diverse range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, ceramics and mixed media, the participating artists offer fresh perspectives on the novel's central characters, their inner lives, and the societal context in which they exist.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: It was my pleasure. But as you said in your initial email that in the library they couldn't make the identification, I hope they would have this article that I sent you in my previous email, because it is so rich in details. Not only does it show the same picture of the bookplate and that it is Woolf's grandfather's (also that VW inherited her father's library) but it explains how Leonard's and Virginia's own library was distributed, who received what and in what way WSU?s collection came to life. I would love if a library like theirs included this article in the collection, as an additional piece of information. ________________________________ From: Vwoolf on behalf of Joshua Phillips via Vwoolf Sent: 12 June 2025 08:27 To: Eleanor McNees ; vwoolf listserve Subject: Re: [Vwoolf] A Bookplate Mystery...

Message-ID: !-------------------------------------------------------------------| This Message Is From an External Sender This message came from outside your organization. |-------------------------------------------------------------------! Apologies for hoping to exploit the generosity of list members once again, this time with a relatively trivial question. For an account of the publication history of The Waves, I'm trying to learn whether the one variant between the first impression and the third impression (the Uniform Edition) also occurs in the second impression. The variant is on page 35, at the end of line 9, where, in the Uniform Edition, the second "l" in "will" has dropped out, leaving "wil" instead. The Cambridge edition records this variant in the Uniform Edition but doesn't say whether it also occurs in the second impression. I haven't been able to find a copy of the second impression except from booksellers offering it at US$250 or more, which seems a bit much to pay to answer this one question. If you have a copy of the second impression, could you let me know if p. 35, line 9 has "will" or "wil"? Incidentally, I've now scanned a copy of the Uniform Edition and compared the text to that of the first impression, on the off chance that another variant might have been lurking there waiting to be noticed. But the only variant was that dropped "l" which the world already knew about, thanks to the Cambridge edition.

I am writing as the new(ish) General Editor of the Bloomsbury Heritage Series, previously published by Cecil Woolf Publishers and edited by Cecil?s wife, Jean Moorcroft Wilson. As you most likely know, after Cecil's death in 2019, Jean reached out to the IVWS to pass over editorial responsibility for the series with the hope that it could be both revived and extended in the years to come. The IVWS has entered into a partnership with Clemson University Press to republish titles in the original series and, eventually, to solicit new works. All of us involved in the project are committed to preserving the unique perspective and structure of the BHS catalog and to make the works published in this series accessible to scholars and common readers alike. As our work gets underway, we?re focusing first on reissuing the original run of the series. That means that my task now is to find the authors who published with the original series to request permission to reprint their work! I am in the process of gathering email addresses and other contact information, but the series has a long history, and many authors? institutional affiliations or professional trajectories have changed, making them difficult to find. Vara Neverow, who among her many other responsibilities is also a member of the Bloomsbury Heritage Committee at the IVWS, suggested that I reach out here. (Thank you as always, Vara, for great ideas!) And so: if you published work with the Bloomsbury Heritage Series, please contact me at bloomsburyheritage at gmail.com. I am happy to provide more information about the plans for reissued volumes as you decide about your participation. Each title in the catalog makes an important contribution to the series as a whole, and we hope to be able to reprint as complete a run as possible of the original works published by Cecil and Jean. Again, please contact me at bloomsburyheritage at gmail.com with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you--and, hopefully, bringing out your work again in the reissued series.

As I was puzzled by that name, trying to figure out what it stood for, my husband suddenly remembered that SP stands for "Saint P?res" - Les Editions des Saints P?res, of course - indeed. We had this conversation with Vara before (was it about this same MD SP book, or about what title then, if anyone remembers?) - about the advantages of investing in some of these large volumes that one will want/need to read or refer to at a later stage. I was given the *Recherche* by Proust as an SP Book years ago. Now I feel that I probably might/should/will/could invest in the MD SP too, of course. Did they Just raise the price to ?200.00 though? (Payment in 3 x instalments free of charge!). We'll see. As humanists, one must contribute to the book & publishing industry, mustn't we? VW as a founder of the HP would agree. No one among us would dare to think that *Her* books were "too expensive", of course (mind you, maybe they weren't, either). But there probably were far more curious readers (including in France). Imagine the number of trips to the BL that one would actually *save*... granted "saving" would be the actual goal.

The beauty with the public libraries is such that people who can?t afford really expensive books, no matter how much they would like to support authors and publishing industry, should still have access to knowledge (as knowledge is to be shared, and not be limited only to those who are privileged).

Very interesting article (with at least one odd glitch). The author seems to have made a strange calculation about Virginia Woolf's birth/age when he states that, "[Julia] Jackson married again, to Leslie Stephen, and with him had four more children, including Virginia Woolf, who was 3 when Cameron died." Cameron died on 26 January 1879. The calculation adds six years to Woolf's life. Woolf was born 25 January 1882, not 25 January 1876. I think ?including Virginia Woolf who was born three years after Cameron died? would have been more?factual. Sigh. No copy editors or fact checkers at the Times? Did anyone else cringe when reading ?kids? instead of ?children? in the article?

A lovely journey, perfect country, the valley of the Dordogne. I mean to buy a house and live here." (!) Totally agree about Nohant being "most romantic" - still lively, fresh, and well-preserved, not museumified. So today we found the place in roughly the same way that VW & LW (and Marmoset) saw it back in May 1937. Wow! Followed by a superb Schubert concert(2) as part of the Chopin Festival.

I know that VW would sometimes seem to have contradictory statements about this or that in this or that source. But don't we remember her listing Milton in her top list of favourite poets (with Keats, if I remember well)? Or am I being delusional and she always professed to hate Milton-the-masculinist"? A very minor point after all, but the quotation in WSJ made me jump, rather, so I had to share the query with this community.

As to your question, here comes an answer: In Sep 10th 1918 VW writes in her diary the words which the article quotes regarding Milton " scarcely feel that Milton lived or knew men and women ... He was the first of the masculinists", yet Woolf's descriptions don't stop there. About Paradise Lost she writes "But how smooth, strong and elaborate it all is! What poetry! I can conceive that even Shakespeare after this would seem a little troubled, personal, hot and imperfect. I can conceive that this is the essence, of which almost all other poetry is the dilution." And the rest follows which is worth reading as VW is so taken by it. But to understand what the author of the article meant with "inhuman and aloof" re Paradise Lost (VW never wrote those words. That is probably what the author of the article received from reading her impression), Woolf's diary entry should be read in its entirety as it reveals deeper layers which that poem brings forth. ________________________________ From: Vwoolf on behalf of Marie Claire Boisset via Vwoolf Sent: 29 June 2025 23:48 To: vwoolf listerve Cc: Mark Hussey Subject: [Vwoolf] "Live" sighting in Berry & Paris, VW & Milton query Dear all: I hope that this email finds you well, not being crushed by a heat wave (or any & all sundry events or conditions).
