Virginia Woolf on words

29 Apr 1937

In this 1937 BBC broadcast Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) looks at memories and their associations with words. She examines how they are not single or separate entities, and explains how they can be beautiful, how they can teach, write, read, criticise, and progress. For Woolf, these free and wild entities do not live in dictionaries, but in the mind.
