Misplaced: why do #novelists disguise real locations? (2015)

"...apart from #Faulkner the #modernist #novel forewent, for the most part, the fictitious place. #Joyce’s Dublin, #Bely’s St Petersburg, #Musil’s Vienna, #Döblin’s Berlin, #DosPassos’s Manhattan, Céline’s Paris, #Woolf’s #London were almost overwhelmingly realistic. Was this a reaction to the quaintness of Little Baddington, Glimmerglass Lake, Dotheboys Hall, Pemberley, Tillietudlem and Langdirdum?"

No idea if this will be of interest to anyone else but I thought it might be nice to share it rather than leave it mouldering in a folder!

The voyage out... Un livre annoté de Virginia #Woolf qui était perdu en raison d'une erreur humaine de classement, jusqu'à être retrouvé en 2021 par un responsable des services de métadonnées de la bibliothèque Fisher, Simon Cooper. Le voilà numérisé, annoté et en ligne dans 'e domaine public

Few novelists have a great gift for the essay. Usually the essays of the professional novelist, the #MartinAmis type, have a between-work air. Among the Brits, the great essayist-novelists are #Lawrence, #Woolf and #Pritchett. I have been in love with Jimmy Joyce since highschool, and consider Ulysses the summit of art – but he was no essayist. https://limitedinc.blogspot.com/2022/10/woolf-as-essayist.html

#January 25, 1882
#OTD Virginia #Woolf, English #Writer, is born.

Virginia's husband, Leonard Sidney Woolf, designed the #Gardens at the country home they called Monk's House. Virginia once complained, "We're watering the earth w/ our money!"

Virginia loved to write in the garden #Shed dubbed "The Lodge."

After her #Suicide, Leonard wrote:

"I know Virginia will not come across the #Garden from the #Lodge, & yet I look... for her.
I know she is drowned, yet I listen for her... at the door."

What an extraordinary novel. I've been reading Emre's new annotated edition. It's a pleasing object. In a way it's distracting -- I could understand wanting to read without footnotes, without pictures, without comment -- but in the end I'm glad to have had it. #Woolf

"...murmur in his ear like sirens lolloping away on the green sea waves..." ---- lolloping? #Woolf

November 25, 1880
Birth of Leonard Sidney Woolf, Designer of #Monks House #Garden. Husband of
Virginia #Woolf

The Woolf's had two #Elm #Trees they sweetly named after themselves, "Virginia and Leonard."
Leonard buried Virginia's ashes under one of those Elms & installed a #Stone with the last lines from her novel The Waves:

Against you, I fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding,
O Death! The waves crashed on the shore.

November 25, 1880
Birth of Leonard Sidney Woolf, Designer of #Monks House #Garden. Husband of Virginia #Woolf.
Leonard loved #Gardening.
In 1939, Virginia called for him to listen to "the lunatic" Hitler on the radio. But Leonard replied:
"I shan't come. I am #Planting #Iris, & they will be #Flowering long after he is dead."

After Virginia's tragic suicide, Leonard wrote:
"I know that V. will not come across the garden... yet I look ...for her."

A list of public lectures accompanying the exhibition 'Virginia Woolf e Bloomsbury. Inventing Life' at Rome's Palazzo Altemps, Museo Nazionale Romana until #12/2/23.

Topics include #Carrington, #Keynes, #Forster and #Woolf.

So much scholarship on The Waves by Virginia #Woolf only focuses on Bernard, Susan, Neville, Jinny, Louis, and Rhoda.

Why is there nothing on Bongo, the talking pangolin?

So I'm Pauline. I've written a couple volumes of #fiction, the last a counterfactual #novel starring a not-dead-at-25 #Keats in Italy. My diss at #Berkeley (where I persist in a job doing things to computers) was about the #modernist novel (#Joyce, #Woolf, #HenryJames) as #Romantic lyric, with help from #Wittgenstein and such.

I live with my excellent family in the #EastBay and mess with #guitars.

Also bound to post #trans stuff, including freakouts about the facial surgery I'm having in, um, two days, behind CWs if alarming or gross.
