AI Overview
E.M. Forster's relationship with Virginia Woolf was complex, marked by deep friendship but also critical differences in their views on the novel. Forster delivered a significant lecture on Woolf after her death, recognizing her brilliance but also critiquing aspects like her feminism and what he saw as her novels' lack of connection to reality. Woolf, in turn, prioritized the novel's aesthetic qualities and form, a perspective that contrasted with Forster's view of the novelist as an educator with a clear social message.
Forster's critical perspectives on Woolf
On form and content:
Forster was critical of what he saw as Woolf's preoccupation with form and beauty over social utility, believing it compromised the novelist's role as an educator.
On reality and representation:
He questioned if her technique effectively represented "human beings as a whole," pointing to the perceived fragmentation of characters in her novels, though he also admired her ability to capture the workings of a brain.
On feminism:
Forster noted and somewhat critiqued what he considered outdated feminism in Woolf's work, particularly in Three Guineas, though he acknowledged her self-awareness about his opinion.
On specific works:
He called her early experimental works like Kew Gardens "lovely little things" that "seemed to lead nowhere".
Woolf's perspective
Prioritizing form and beauty:
Unlike Forster, Woolf believed the form and beauty of a novel were not separate from its content but were integral to its artistic value.
Focus on aesthetics:
Her work was more concerned with aesthetic and emotional experiences than with the kind of social and moral purpose that was central to Forster's novels.
Overall assessment
Forster's posthumous lecture is considered a powerful and insightful, though not entirely uncritical, introduction to Woolf's work.
Despite their critical differences, they shared a deep friendship, evident in anecdotes like Forster selling Woolf a manuscript page for a small sum.
The tension between their critical views—Forster's emphasis on clear meaning versus Woolf's focus on aesthetic autonomy—highlights a central debate in modernist literature.

Virginia Woolf and Lord David Cecil had a relationship based on family connections (he married into the broader Bloomsbury Group circle) and literary criticism, rather than a close personal friendship.
Family Connection
David Cecil's primary connection to the Bloomsbury Group was through his wife, Rachel MacCarthy, whose father, Desmond MacCarthy, was a central figure in the group. This marriage in 1932 cemented Cecil's link to the modernist writers, including Virginia Woolf and Leonard Woolf.
A differentCecil Woolf was actually Leonard Woolf's younger brother and Virginia's cousin by marriage. Lord David Cecil, the Oxford don and historian, was a different person who simply had connections to the extended social circle. The confusion between the two men is common, but it is Lord David Cecil who is known for his literary engagement with Virginia Woolf's work.
Literary Relationship and Criticism
Lord David Cecil was an established literary critic and academic (an "Oxford don") who wrote an entry on Virginia Woolf for the Dictionary of National Biography. His critical assessment of her work was complex:
He praised the "shimmering felicities of her style" and considered her work an exquisite example of the English aesthetic movement.
However, he also categorized her, along with Lytton Strachey, as artists who withdrew from life to cultivate their art, suggesting there was little substance beyond the dazzling language.
In essence, their relationship was a formal one of a respected critic engaging with the work of a major novelist, linked by an extended social and family sphere, rather than a deep, personal bond.

A lost book by Virginia Woolf will be published next month after its manuscript was discovered in a stately home.
The Life of Violet, is a collection of three comic stories about a giantess.
It will be published on Oct 7, providing a new insight into one of the 20th century’s most influential feminist writers.
Woolf, known for novels and feminist essays, took her own life in 1941. Her works became inspirational to early modern feminist thinkers because of their focus on the stifling social mores of upper-class England.
The discovery of a new Woolf book which challenges perceptions of her as “gloomy, suicidal and dark” will excite literary scholars.

Prof Urmila Seshagiri stumbled across the manuscript in Wiltshire’s Longleat House while researching Woolf’s 1939 autobiographical essay, A Sketch of the Past.
The Waste Land is arguably the most influential modernist poem of the 20th century. It was first published in October 1922 in the British journal The Criterion, then a month later in the American journal The Dial, before appearing in book form, firstly, in America by Boni and Liverlight in 1922, and then in 1923 by Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s Hogarth Press.
The poem is divided into five sections; ‘The Burial of the Dead’, ‘A Game of Chess’, ‘The Fire Sermon’, ‘Death by Water’, and ‘What Thunder Said’. When the poem appeared in book form, Eliot included explanatory notes to the many religious, cultural, and literary allusions. Nevertheless the poem remains difficult and complex with references to Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism. Eliot also incorporates a number of different languages including, French, Italian, Greek, and German. Throughout the poem there are allusions to Shakespeare, Dante, Ovid, Milton, Baudelaire, Virgil, Spenser, and Homer among others. Juxtaposed to these highbrow references are colloquial passages of public house conversations, popular music hall song, and the Tarot.

The phrase "glorified diseuse" is a literary expression, notably used by the author E.M. Forster in a critical assessment of
Virginia Woolf's work and persona. The expression suggests a performer who relies on charming delivery rather than substantive content.
Meaning of the Terms
Diseuse: A French term for a female entertainer who recites stories, poetry, or monologues, often with charm and wit, rather than singing or acting a full role. The term implies a focus on vocal performance and personality.
Glorified: Used here to mean something elevated in status or perceived importance beyond its actual merit, often with a hint of condescension.
Context in Literature
E.M. Forster used the phrase in an address shortly after Virginia Woolf's death, suggesting a potential pitfall in her writing and public impression:
"She might have become a glorified diseuse, who frittered away her broader effects by mischievousness, and she did give that impression to some who met her in the flesh..."
Forster was cautioning that some people might perceive Woolf as merely a clever and charming storyteller, potentially overlooking the deeper substance and "central control" that he argued did exist in her written work.
Thus, the entire phrase functions as a critique or a characterization suggesting that an artist's personal charm and performative style could overshadow the true depth of their work.
我在進台大醫科一年級時，書架上就有英文版的《The Portraits From Memory by Bertrand Russell》和《Bertrand Russell The Passionate Sceptic by Alan Wood》，到了大二時，去聽殷海光的演講，才知道他也是「羅素迷」，大四時，開始翻譯處女作《當代智慧人物訪問錄》，譯完之後，我把稿子寄給文星書店，據說是李敖推薦給老闆蕭孟能，才使我的書列入《文星叢刊》第142號，並獲得4200元的稿費，此書包括：羅素、卡薩爾斯及以色列國父班固理安等14人，經此鼓勵，我再接再厲在醫科畢業之前，翻譯《羅素回憶集》和《羅素傳》這二本譯作，因為李敖文章觸怒國民黨政權，蕭孟能不得不關閉「文星書店」，我也祗好去拜訪在「文星書店」隔壁開「長榮書店」的張清吉先生，他看到「文星書店」關門時，人山人海的景像，他也正好想轉型出版對社會有貢獻的好書，因此我就適時鼓勵張先生説：「人死留名，虎死留皮，與其出版一些雜七雜八的英語會話書，不如有系統的翻譯一套世界名著，對台灣讀書界會比較有貢獻。」張先生也從善如流，加上他本人也頗受日本《岩波文庫》的影響，就答應先後出版我翻譯的《羅素回憶集》和《羅素傳》，而成為《新潮文庫》的創刊的第一部和第二部，出版後，一時洛陽紙貴，甚至連殷海光教授，親自來書店拜會張先生，並鼓勵他多出好書，同時也使張清吉對這種高水準的書產生信心。後來我又陸續替《新潮文庫》編譯了六本書，才在1968年7月到美國紐約行醫與欣賞20世紀名家的音樂會，在出國之前，我拜託同班同學廖運範，替我翻譯我沒有時間翻譯的《佛洛伊德自傳》，廖同學譯筆流暢，此書的出版，宣告台灣《心理分析時代》的來臨，20多年後中國也出版了廖同學這本書，也是洛陽紙貴非常暢銷，當時翻譯一本書，等於台大醫院住院醫生五個月的薪水，因此透過廖同學的號召，有10多位醫師投入《新潮文庫》翻譯陣容，包括翻譯四本佛洛伊德名著的林克明和翻譯佛洛伊德經典名著《夢的解析》的賴其萬、以及翻譯史懷哲《文明哲學》的鄭泰安等。
