 : 'What is Sport?'

Leonard Woolf to Lytton Strachey, 4 January 1902: 'I sent the Goth [i.e. Thoby Stephen] a cutting from a newspaper entitled "What is Sport?" being a diatribe against the current idea. I got back six closely written pages to prove that the writer was "talking through his hat" in true Gothic style. From the same paper I cut out the enclosed which I thought might interest you. I have spent most of the vac. it seems to me cutting extracts out of newspapers.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Thoby Stephen      Print: Newspaper
