Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

"Sylvia Plath became a fan of [Smith's] poetry and sent Smith a letter in 1962, describing herself as "a desperate Smith-addict." Plath expressed interest in meeting in person but committed suicide soon after sending the letter."

Right, I've trashed Dipper's review of Defoe on the other thread now

(Not true, I basically agree with everything she said)

I think Stevie Smith wrote the only poem that is not a nonsense poem that I can quote verbatim. I read the bell jar and was not particularly affected by it. Whereas I was by Mrs Dalloway. Not sure if it would be the same if I reread them both

I’ve tried to read Mrs Dalloway twice and failed. I find Woolf’s writing to be the densest, most impenetrable stuff I’ve ever tackled.
