Evidence: | Extract of letter to Virginia Woolf from E. M. Forster, copied by Woolf in diary entry of 16 November 1931:
'"I expect I shall write to you again when I have re read The Waves. I have been looking in it & talking about it at Cambridge. Its difficult to express oneself about a work which one feels to be so very important but I've the sort of excitement over it which comes from believing that one's encountered a classic."' |
