Well done! \o/

Thanks.

The important thing is that I can put Virginia Woolf back in her box and nail it down.

Hurrah!

Schroedinger's Woolf?

[curiouswombat]

Sounds good to me - and we are probably not interested enough to ever lift the lid to see...

So she'll never know if she's avant garde or pretentious.

If you can get hold of it, Holtby's Letters to a Friend (Jean McWilliam, whom she met in the WAACs, and who then went out to South Africa) is adorable, I love her even more than before.

Did you read her study of Woolf? it's rather wonderful, if only because it doesn't have to take on board decades of Woolf studies and the strip-mining of the Bloomsbury Grou[.

I read the first chapter and the chapter about ROO and Orlando.

I felt she was trying hard to be sympathetic, but wasn't completely overwhelmed by it. I'm now planning to read The Crowded Street. Frankly, I find her far more interesting than Woolf.

Thanks again for your help.

Very well done! I bet it's such a relief, and a sense of achievement all rolled into one. I feel your pain - I'm doing Wordsworth at the moment and I've never understood his appeal. Meh. Now Byron, Keats, Blake - lovely, bring it on. I find Wordsworth insipid somehow. So, enjoy moving on and good luck for the result.

Thanks. The rest are going to be much more fun. I have a 6,000 word creative piece with a 2,000-word reflective commentary to complete for next month, but most of that is done - it's just editing now.

Remember that fuss about a student production of "Saved" back in the day?

[gillo]

There's always going to be fuss about Saved. I re-read it last night. Do not like. It's a Daily Mail presentation of the underclass.
