Iris Mary Birtwistle was a poet and gallery owner. George Pritchard was a solicitor who as the story goes gave the collection of letters he kept at home by Virginia Woolf Leonard Woolf Leslie Stephen Lytton Strachey Maynard Keynes letters and others to his son Patrick Prichard who passed them on to his wife who later sold them all to a dealer in New York City which caused some unpleasant controversy about their provenance according to Leonard Woolf's biography. A WRITER'S DIARY Reveals glimpses of Virginia Woolf & essential for an understanding of her writing methods & how her thought process influenced her life & relationships. It was not until Woolf's full Diaries were published that they were recognized with her letters as companion as her literary masterpieces. Virginia Woolf kept her diaries from 1915 until her death in 1941. Her husband Leonard Woolf notes in his preface that her "diary gives for 27 years a consecutive record of what she did of the people whom she saw and particularly of what she thought about those people about herself about life and about the books she was writing or hoped to write." Leonard Woolf has here excerpted his wife's diaries from 1918 through 1941 including every reference his wife's diaries made to her own writing. The resulting book "throws light upon Virginia Woolf's intentions objects and methods as a writer. It gives an unusual psychological picture of artistic production from within." Kirkpatrick & Clarke A31a. A rare & desirable Association Copy. The Hogarth Press unknown

Leonard's stories outsold all but Gorky's second book The Notebooks of Tchekhov and Virginia's Monday or Tuesday and in the scale of press operations it was perhaps its most successful venture.In March 1915 Leonard and Virginia Woolf had moved to Hogarth House Richmond and were experiencing a particularly turbulent time in their lives. Virginia's first novel The Voyage Out was published that same year and in an attempt to find an activity to occupy themselves with Leonard suggested they purchase a book press. Along with some old typeface and some necessary implements and materials they set about the task with enthusiasm and their first work a collection of two short stories by Virginia was printed in July 1917. All in all sixteen of the thirty-two books which were published during the years that the press was in Richmond 1917 to 1924 were printed by the Woolfs' own hand. A collection of three short stories 'Pearls and Swine' 'A Tale Told by Midnight' and 'The Two Brahmans' each story painting a picture of Leonard Woolf's fear and mistrust of colonialism as well as the uncomfortable moral ground occupied by the servants of the British Government in Ceylon prior to the Great War. unknown
