Once immersed in the Woolf world of a century ago, one can hardly miss and not admire Virginia and Leonard’s Gastfreundschaft<\/em> – their practice of hospitality; to friends and acquaintance, in the interest of intellectual curiosity and that of professional opportunism, and interrupted only during the periods of Virginia’s illness. An invitation to the Woolf’s – be it in London or Rodmell – was sought and often wrought with danger, but always there the lingering promise of shared intimacy, and a ‘next time’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, then, as a good host, and in accordance with the ancient practice of xenia<\/em>, I gladly throw open a room on this page – a guest room if you will. Here, others have their say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be collected: Assorted materials that come my way – reprints of essays and articles when permitted, and often from The Conversation<\/a><\/em> – well, as I write, only <\/em>from there! Unfortunately, very few online publications afford this courtesy these days – so much for hospitality! Otherwise, a rather random list of external links (that remain ‘live’ to be hoped!) that I have not necessarily referred to elsewhere nor require (as I write) a pesky subscription, and, from time to time, book and publication recommendations that I find particularly noteworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
