Taking as her guide extracts from Virginia Woolf's diaries, journals, correspondence and rare travel essays, Jan Morris follows her footprints from Sussex and Cornwall to wartime London, and from Italy and the Riviera to Greek mountains and southern Spain. |
| Synopsis: |
Virginia Woolf had a lively sense of place and delighted in 'lighting accidentally...upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Following Virginia's footprints from her beloved Sussex and Cornwall to wartime London, Italy and the Riviera to Greek mountains and the wilds of Spain, Jan Morris intersperses swift verbal sketches of a Greek peasant wedding, a fenland sky, an elderly spinster in a hotel dining room in Italy, or Bognor pier in the rain with her own brief, telling comments on both writer and subject. |
