Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge The Society of Authors as the literary representative of the Estate of Virginia Woolf for granting permission to reprint material from Orlando: A Biography. For permission to quote from The Diary of Virginia Woolf, volume 1, I wish to thank the Executors of the Virginia Woolf Estate and Hogarth Press as publisher. I would like also to thank Harcourt Brace & Company for granting permission to reprint excerpts from the above mentioned volumes. Acknowledgements are also made to Laurence Pollinger Limited and the Estate of Frieda Lawrence Ravagli for granting permission to use material from The Letters of D.H. Lawrence, volume 2.
I would like to thank Dr. Bernard Richards for his suggestions and insights as this book was taking formation. Dr. Stephen Gill helped inspire the original concept. The staff of the Bodleian Library provided immeasurable assistance.
I have been blessed with many friends, without whom my work would be, if not impossible, then distinctly less pleasurable. As I acknowledged in a previous volume, Ann, Jack, and John Maidman, Margaret Morth, and Chris Rude are unstinting in their generosity. Maria Croghan deserves thanks for her hospitality and kindness during a particularly stressful period of composition. Angela Fost, Gary Hancock, Maria and Peter Taylor, and Penny Walker were always patient and encouraging listeners, even when the argument was flat and repetitive. I would particularly like to thank Zo, who gave up her favorite spot to make way for my impromptu desk.
It is, as always, my mother and father to whom I owe the most. Without their supporting presence I may have never had the courage to make the journeys. It is to them that this essay is dedicated.
