Pearls and Swine[edit]

I am surprised to see that there is no reference to Woolf's excellent Pearls and Swine, a book he wrote circa 1912-1921. This writing is seen as a transitional text in the history of British Empire writing,drawing from his own experiences and his disgust at the Imperialist mission while working in the Ceylon Civil Service(1905-1911)

Book about the Woolfs[edit]

About Leonard and Virginia, written by Spater, George & Ian Parsons, A marriage of true minds, might be interesting. Austerlitz 88.72.25.173 15:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sidney or Sydney?[edit]

Shouldn't his name be Leonard Sydney Woolf as his father's last name seems to have been Sydney?House mouse 11:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No it is Sidney —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.180.39 (talk) 18:10, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mental Illness?[edit]

"(Leonard Woolf himself suffered just as badly with depression/mental illnesses)." Fascinating. Citation needed.Atrivedi (talk) 03:52, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
