I do like the fact that the domestic was so important to the middlebrow AND the highbrow in the period.StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-34030589735470494232013-11-27T16:02:43.545+00:002013-11-27T16:02:43.545+00:00Thanks v much!

If you don't like Woolf...Well, the bold worked!<br />If you don't like Woolf, then I think you probably won't like this... it's a good place to start with Woolf, because it's more accessible than some, but it's definitely still Woolf. Try her non-fic instead, if you haven't.StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-70251178735242523322013-11-27T16:01:54.336+00:002013-11-27T16:01:54.336+00:00I think you can still be a VW fanatic without havi...I think you can still be a VW fanatic without having read this one - but I'd encourage you to read it anyway! Although finding one with this cover might be tricky, or very expensive, but good luck!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-33468006969638536042013-11-21T07:07:59.740+00:002013-11-21T07:07:59.740+00:00I enjoyed that, Simon - and not just because of th...I enjoyed that, Simon - and not just because of the kitten. That whole paragraph really touches on what I like about 'the domestic' in fiction.

Haven't had much luck with Woolf so who knows if I will ever pick it up. <br /><br />In other news, I am learning how to write HTML, so I am going to experiment here by posting a picture of The Queen. I guess if you see the picture then it worked.<br /><br />Okay, blogger would let me use the img tag. Let me try turning <strong>The Queen</strong> bold instead.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-65928595999546889252013-11-18T10:15:15.400+00:002013-11-18T10:15:15.400+00:00My immediate reaction is I love the book design!

As a fan of Ms Woolf, you've now made me question…'can I actually class myself as a VW fanatic if I have neglected to read this one?' Must scout the shelves of my antiquarian bookshop and see if it's there…! Thank you for a wonderful post.Ladylovesteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307976348852772461noreply@blogger.com
