"But then one would have to decide what is style and what is meaning, a question which—but here I was actually at the door which leads into the library itself." Woolf on the "18th-century style" of Thackeray's Henry Esmond in A Room of One's Own... Very cheeky. Very Sternean. #18c #Woolf

V. excited to have found a child's diary from 1789, covering the period he & his family fled the French Revolution ... So far it has mostly been 'I am very annoyed about running away!', accompanied with detailed blow by blow accounts of his tutor's unfortunate bouts of diarrhoea #18c
