‘Private houses in London are apt to be much of a muchness.  The door opens on a dark hall; from the dark hall rises a narrow staircase; off the landing opens a double drawing-room, and in this double drawing-room are … three long windows giving upon the street.’ (‘Portrait of a Londoner’, The Essays of Virginia Woolf, Vol. V [Hogarth Press, 2009], 593)

wrapper: Studio photograph of Winifred Holtby by an unknown photographer
 
Holtby ‘is far too kind, gentle, and well meaning to hurt a hair on the hinder leg of a fly’ (Letters, no. 2429 to Ethel Smyth, [6 September 1931]).
For consent to reproduce this photograph, which is the Winifred Holtby Collection at Hull Local Studies Library, we are grateful to Professor Marion Shaw, the literary executor of the Winifred Holtby Estate.
