Lady Frederick Cavendish : The Diary of Lady Frederick Cavendish

Virginia Woolf to Ethel Smyth, 29 August 1938: 'Just finished Lady Fred Cavendish's diaries: no vigour, no insight, no originality. All as drab and dowdy as Mabel's Sunday best (Mabel is our maid of all work.) [...] And such damned condescension to artists. Yet all else is fine flowing and thoroughbred - only the mind cluttered with curtains and ferns.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Virginia Woolf      Print: Book
