[Vwoolf] Bloomsbury Heritage Series Reissues: Request for Information

[Mary Wilson]

Hello Woolfians!

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.

All best,
Mary Wilson
