| Evidence: | Leonard Woolf to Roberta Rubenstein, 14 December 1968:
'What is your evidence for saying that Virginia had never read a Russian novel until she read Crime and Punishment in 1912? The translations of Turgenev by Constance Garnett were published 1894 to 1899. I certainly read some of these at Cambridge in 1901 [...] Anna Karenina in Garnett's translation appeared in 1901 and I certainly read this at Cambridge'. |
