[Vwoolf] Emma Woolf article

[Sarah M. Hall]

 As I'm not a subscriber, I can only comment on the headline and picture caption (annoying that no one using this pic ever credits the VWSGB members who funded it), but the thought that a city would remain untouched by progress for a century is like a fairy tale. And I suppose that pre-2016 London was having a Johnsonian golden age?
Come, all you wonderfully eccentric Woolf devotees, you'll fit right in! 
Hope to see some of you on Saturday, for the VWSGB DallowayDay celebration (late this year, to fit in with the conference). Though it's almost sold out, there are a few party tickets left: DallowayDay2025.eventbrite.co.uk

As one of the “wonderfully eccentric Woolf devotees from America” (!) about to arrive in London, I was interested to read Emma “my great-aunt Virginia” Woolf’s attack on its mayor in the guise of an article about literary heritage. English “journalists” seem to have convinced themselves Woolf’s novel takes place on June 13, but that is not the most disappointing aspect of this nasty diatribe.
