This must be it surely it! The TLS podcast Freedom, Books, Flowers & the Moon<\/em> has a bonus episode <\/a>(an Apple link is the best I can do) of their extended interview with Francesca Wade about book Square Haunting<\/em> that I have previously blogged on<\/a>. Nothing here that she hasn’t necessarily said elsewhere, but just another nudge in the direction of reading about this really interesting collective (of four people – women) that Wade has put together (in one place – a London square).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until I read the book, one final thought, it occurs to me how often Virginia Woolf uses “haunting” and associated words – things like “my old haunts” or “something\/somebody haunted by” and of course “haunted houses”<\/a> – and there is a wonderful 1927 essay entitled Street Haunting<\/em> (I would guess this inspires Wade’s book title) which I know from The Death of the Moth, and Other Essays<\/a><\/em> a collection published in 1942 by Leonard Woolf after his wife’s death, and which takes us on a delightful walk of London – and at the haunting hour! (A beautiful 1930 US edition is at The British Library, and here digitally<\/a>.) I will keep this in mind as an idea to be pursued further, because I think there is a lot more to be said about Woolf and the ghosts that haunted her, and those that haunt us all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
