Letter from Xiao Qian to W.J.H. Sprott about a talk he planned to give in Nottingham; 12 Oct. 1943.
"I am very curious to know whether there are some people at Nottingham interested in Virginia Woolf's novels, and especially if there are people who have patiently read her and disagreed with her. She is so much a fact of Cambridge, that to discuss her here often ends in collective eulogy. Her reaction to the Midlands, industrial, Lawrentian ought to be very fresh to me (I am doing a book for China next spring on E.M. Forster and Virginia Woolf). If you think it possible to gather a handful of people, I would be glad to pose as an ardent fan of Virginia Woolf before them and evoke their vehement antagonism and thereby reap a rich Harvest."
