Exhibitions

The Hogarth Press and Virginia Woolf in 1924, and 'The London Scene'

The Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain is staging an exhibition of books and publications which will be on display in the University of London Library during the conference.  It has been designed to show Woolf's writing activities during 1924, the year she returned to Bloomsbury, relocating the Hogarth Press in the process from Richmond to 52 Tavistock Square.  The exhibition is entitled The Hogarth Press and Virginia Woolf in 1924, and 'The London Scene' ; delegates will find a catalogue in their conference packs.

Visitors to the exhibition will be interested to see the broad variety of books published by the Hogarth Press in a single year, and they fill one of the exhibition's four cases.  The second case displays some of the many books Woolf read to review during the course of 1924 and the third case contains two of the reviews she wrote that year as they appeared in The London Mercury and The Dial .  As we are in London this year, the final case has been devoted to three of 'The London Scene' essays, in their extremely rare original appearance in Good Housekeeping magazine (1931-32). You will see how the articles were accompanied by drawings and contemporary photographs. Of special interest to Woolfians is the never reprinted article 'Portrait of a Londoner' which was not included when the series was collected and published as The London Scene in 1975.

The Library is located on the 4 th Floor and all conference delegates are allowed access for the duration of the conference.
