In more recent years, a few additional titles from the original Woolf Library were added to the holdings in MASC, acquired from book dealers in England and the United States. WSU acquired a further hundred books from Virginia’s nephew and biographer, the late Professor Quentin Bell, in 1983. In 1979 the Libraries purchased some 400 books from Cecil Woolf, which Leonard had sold to him over the years. Other large purchases that have filled the gaps in the Library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf have included books owned by Leonard Woolf’s nephew, Cecil. Parsons had inherited these books, which covered the period from 1917 to 1941, from Leonard Wolf after his death. Since only a smattering of Hogarth Press books were included in WSU Libraries’ earlier purchases, when Trekkie Parsons offered a large collection of Hogarth Press publications for sale in 1974, WSU seized the opportunity to purchase them. The press, which permitted them to publish works they thought worthy, also saved Virginia from the stress of submitting her work directly to another publisher and provided her with a diversion from writing. The couple founded Hogarth Press in 1917, while both were becoming known as authors and critics, and Leonard was a rising editor. However, early in the acquisition process, the decision was made by WSU Libraries to collect all the Woolfs’ works, including all editions of Virginia’s books. Only a few of the works of Leonard Woolf and even fewer of those of Virginia Woolf came to WSU with their library. This indicates yet again that their library was a working library to be used as a tool of trade in their profession as writers.”3 We have tried when possible to keep intact the work Virginia Woolf herself did, and these books are identified as such, i.e., Virginia Woolf’s bindings. Virginia’s own efforts at book repair are slapdash and pathetically inadequate.

Many have detached covers showing stress to hinges from hard use. “To them books were tools rather than collector’s items. MASC has devoted much time and money to restoring and preserving the books, many of which arrived in very bad condition. Her diaries, letters, and published worksboth fictional and nonfictionalindicate that Virginia continued to read and reread books from her father’s library throughout her life.2Īmong the unique features of many books in the Woolf Library are decorations and other mending measures carried out by Virginia Woolf. It is little wonder that she found biographies to be among the most interesting of the books. She was such an avid reader that he allowed her to choose what she wanted to read from his collection, with the stipulation that she read everything twice and that she make up her own mind about what she read rather than rely on the opinions of others. It was in his library that Leslie Stephen taught Virginia the basic skills of an historian. Stephen, one of the first editors of the Dictionary of National Biography, had a vast library, and much of it came to Virginia after his death in 1904. The Woolfs had built their library around a nucleus of books that Virginia inherited from her father, Leslie Stephen.
