| Sumario: | Readers of the periodical Virginia Woolf Miscellany will hardly need to be told that the past ten years have seen a tremendous revival of interest in the works of author Virginia Woolf. They may however be interested to learn that this phenomenon has brought with it painful and difficult moral problems for those who are called upon to publish or to sanction the publication of her works. The reason is clear; in the prevailing state of enthusiasm it is natural to print, not only that which she in her own lifetime offered to the public, but also things which she herself never did publish and very likely never would have published. In a great many cases, beginning with the book Between the Acts, the author is sure that the publishers have been right even when they disregarded Virginia's known or presumed wishes. The author hopes and believes that the policy, which has been pursued, has been justifiable.
