  • The Charleston Bulletin Supplements, by Virginia Woolf and Quentin Bell, the British Library, London (ISBN 978 0 7123 5891), 2013
    The Charleston Bulletin Supplements, by Virginia Woolf and Quentin Bell, The British Library, London (ISBN 978 0 7123 5891), 2013. In 2003 the British Library purchased the manuscripts of The Charleston Bulletin and, a decade later, it launched this attractive edition of a selection of special issues or supplements to the daily Bulletin. Ninety years ago Vanessa and Clive Bell’s sons, Julian, aged fifteen, and Quentin Bell, thirteen, began to create their family newspaper. Quentin took the lead in the enterprise as he explains in the Afterword to his aunt Virginia Woolf’s The Widow and the Parrot: ‘I made all the illustrations and most of the other matter. From time to time my brother got bored and stopped work. I carried on reporting and inventing the news as best I could until he, exasperated by my spelling, my handwriting, my grammar etc, would take over again. Thus it happened that I asked for a contribution from my aunt Virginia’ (1). The enthusiastic participation of his aunt, who was by now a celebrated writer, explains why this book is now being published. The book is over 130 pages long, clearly printed on good quality paper and it is reasonably priced at £12.99. It includes eight black and white photographs and forty illustrations that have been carefully reproduced in authentic colour. The original collection at the British Library comprises many variously-sized pages with lots of white space on each. Inevitably compromise had to be made to compress irregular manuscripts into a neat, conventional, uniform book. The manuscript of The Dunciad edition, for instance, is 415 x 263 mm but here the images of that edition are reproduced as 140 x 110 mm on pages that are 210 x 130 mm.

  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    2 Bloomsbury What were the anti-war feelings chiefly expressed outside ‘organised’ protest and not under political or religious banners – those attitudes which form the raison d’être for this study? As the Great War becomes more distant in time, certain actions and individuals become greyer and more obscure whilst others seem to become clearer and imbued with a dash of colour amid the sepia. One thinks particularly of the so-called Bloomsbury Group.1 Any overview of ‘alter- native’ attitudes to the war must consider the responses of Bloomsbury to the shadows of doubt and uncertainty thrown across page and canvas by the con- flict. Despite their notoriety, the reactions of the Bloomsbury individuals are important both in their own right and as a mirror to the similar reactions of obscurer individuals from differing circumstances and backgrounds. In the origins of Bloomsbury – well known as one of the foremost cultural groups of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods – is to be found the moral and aesthetic core for some of the most significant humanistic reactions to the war. The small circle of Cambridge undergraduates whose mutual appreciation of the thoughts and teachings of the academic and philosopher G.E. Moore led them to form lasting friendships, became the kernel of what would become labelled ‘the Bloomsbury Group’. It was, as one academic described, ‘a nucleus from which civilisation has spread outwards’.2 This rippling effect, though tem- porarily dammed by the keenly-felt constrictions of the war, would continue to flow outwards through the twentieth century, inspiring, as is well known, much analysis and interpretation along the way.

What could be easier and simpler? The cinema fell upon its prey with immense rapacity, and to this moment largely subsists upon the body of its unfortunate victim. But the results are disastrous to both. The alliance is unnatural. Eye and brain are torn asunder ruthlessly as they try vainly to work in couples. (Woolf, “The Movies and Reality”) Although adaptation’s detractors argue that “all the directorial Scheherezades of the world cannot add up to one Dostoevsky, it does seem to be more or less acceptable to adapt Romeo and Juliet into a respected high art form, like an opera or a ballet, but not to make it into a movie. If an adaptation is perceived as ‘lowering’ a story (according to some imagined hierarchy of medium or genre), response is likely to be negative...An adaptation is a derivation that is not derivative—a work that is second without being secondary.

  • John Halperin Bloomsbury and Virginia W
    John Halperin ., I Bloomsbury and Virginia WooH: Another VIew . i· "It had seemed to me ever since I was very young," Adrian Stephen wrote in The Dreadnought Hoax in 1936, "that anyone who took up an attitude of authority over anyone else was necessarily also someone who offered a leg to pull." 1 In 1910 Adrian and his sister Virginia and Duncan Grant and some of their friends dressed up as the Emperor of Abyssinia and his suite and perpetrated a hoax upon the Royal Navy. They wished to inspect the Navy's most modern vessel, they said; and the Naval officers on hand, completely fooled, took them on an elaborate tour of some top­ secret facilities aboard the HMS Dreadnought. When the "Dread­ nought Hoax," as it came to be called, was discovered, there were furious denunciations of the group in the press and even within the family, since some Stephen relations were Naval officers. One of them wrote to Adrian: "His Majesty's ships are not suitable objects for practical jokes." Adrian replied: "If everyone shared my feelings toward the great armed forces of the world, the world [might] be a happier place to live in . .. armies and suchlike bodies [present] legs that [are] almost irresistible." Earlier a similarly sartorial practical joke had been perpetrated by the same group upon the mayor of Cam­ bridge, but since he was a grocer rather than a Naval officer the Stephen family seemed unperturbed by this-which was not really a thumbing·of-the-nose at the Establishment. The Dreadnought Hoax was harder to forget.

  • La Dama Que Se Transformó En Zorro
    PERIFÉRICA HOJA DE PROMOCIÓN PARA LIBREROS LA OBRA ESTARÁ EN LIBRERÍAS EL 14 DE ABRIL Una mujer que se convierte en un zorro: se trata de un terrible revés de la fortuna, pero de una extraña belleza. Pero el verdadero tema de esta fascinante novela es qué sucederá luego. Y no deberíamos dejarnos engañar por el título, pues hay más de una transformación en ella. David Garnett LA DAMA QUE SE TRANSFORMÓ EN ZORRO COLECCIÓN «LA RGO RECORRIDO » TRADUCCIÓN DE LAURA SALAS Nº DE PÁGINAS: 128 PVP INCLUIDO IVA : 15,75 € ISBN: 978-84-92865-91-8 Silvia, la protagonista de esta novela tan singular como sabiamente alejada de la cursilería, se casa con el terrateniente Richard Tebrick, tras un breve noviazgo, y después de la luna de miel se instalan en la hermosa finca de Rylands, en el condado de Oxfordshire; la casa de los Tebrick es la única mansión en kilómetros a la redonda. Pocos meses después, una tarde, salen a pasear por el bosquecillo de la colina cercana. Aún se comportan como enamorados: van a todas partes juntos y pasean de la mano. Ese día se oye a lo lejos una jauría de perros y, a continuación, la trompa de los cazadores; así que Richard acelera el paso hasta llegar a la linde del bosque, para no perderse el espectáculo. Desde allí dispondrán de una buena panorámica si los zorros aparecen. Su esposa se queda atrás, y él, tomándola de la mano, casi la arrastra. Antes de que alcancen la linde, ella da un violento tirón acompañado de un alarido y, de inmediato, él vuelve la cabeza… Las historias de transformaciones son una manera de dotar de sentido al mundo, de ver las conexiones que el materialismo de nuestra era pasa por alto, y que pertenecen a un universo ordenado no sólo por la razón, sino también por la imaginación, un universo en el que el cambio es la única constante.

This thesis takes two of Virginia Woolf’s novels, The Voyage MOut and Mrs. Dalloway, and brings them into conversation with the unpublished draft material of Woolf’s little-known, but heavily revised short story “The Searchlight.” Rather than assuming that Woolf is an author who primarily engages with life within England at the turn of the century, it interrogates the colonial elsewheres (or the places of colony that Woolf writes about but never visited herself) that feature in various scenes of looking in her writing. What do Woolf’s characters see when they gaze over people and places that are both known and unknown? And, perhaps even more importantly, what do they imagine? This thesis claims that the act of looking in Woolf’s fic- tions constitutes a fundamental ambivalence in the ideology of empire—Woolf’s characters gaze at colonial elsewheres in ways that both sustain and dislodge the underlying logic of conquest.
