家里正好有一本The Hogarth Press 出版社的书信集的第二卷《The Question of Things Happening(1912-1922)》, hardcover,我只花了几块钱从旧货店买来的。这本书信集书页泛黄,字体细小,行距紧密,600多页,我想,如果我能读完这本书,我就要收集全这套书信集,甚至她的全套日记。
Q: When and where Virginia Woolf spotted D.H. Lawrence while she was traveling in Italy? And in which book she described this event?
A: Virginia Woolf spotted D.H. Lawrence in Italy while she was traveling in 1927. She described this encounter in her diary, which was later published as "The Diary of Virginia Woolf." This event is recorded in Volume 3 of her diary, covering the year 1925-1930. In her diary entry dated May 27, 1927, she mentioned seeing D.H. Lawrence in a restaurant in Florence, Italy, during her travels. This encounter is a notable moment in her diaries, and she provided her observations and impressions of Lawrence and his behavior during that meeting.
Q: What are those observations?
A: In Virginia Woolf's diary entry dated May 27, 1927, where she mentions seeing D.H. Lawrence in Florence, Italy, she records her observations and impressions of the encounter. Her observations were not particularly positive. Woolf describes Lawrence as follows:
"DHL sat in a corner; a flushed, tired, worn man of 40, his wife; a sturdy piece, puffing cigarettes; eating onions. He dominates her – with his intensity, his industry, the way he does not let her out of his sight."
Woolf's description suggests that she found Lawrence to be intense, tired, and domineering in his relationship with his wife Frieda. This observation is consistent with the complex and often controversial personality of D.H. Lawrence as seen through the eyes of different contemporaries. Woolf's diary provides a brief glimpse into her impressions of Lawrence during this chance encounter.
