| Evidence: | Leonard Woolf to Lytton Strachey, 29 September 1907:
'I read Madame Bovary again as I went up to Hatton in the train last week to look after cattle disease. As I read it again, it seemed to me to be the saddest & most beautiful book I had ever read. Surely it is the beginning & end of realism [comments further].'
