Dozens of letters from author Virginia Woolf’s friends and family which detail her life and work and offer “fascinating glimpses” have been acquired by St Andrews University.
The archive of typed and handwritten letters includes two previously unseen photographs of the Mrs Dalloway writer among the items collected by biographer Brownlee Kirkpatrick.
They include letters from Leonard Woolf that are said to be full of reminiscences about his wife after her death in 1941.
Susan Sellers, professor of English at St Andrews, said: “The value of this acquisition cannot be overstated. This archive provides a wealth of information not only about Virginia Woolf the writer but also offers fascinating glimpses into Virginia Woolf the woman through the letters of the people who were close to her.”
