APPENDIX VIII
Notes on the Journals
VW continued to receive commissions to write for, or requests to co-publish articles in, a wide range of journals, especially in the USA and increasingly through literary agents. As in the preceding volumes of this edition, this appendix provides notes on the editors and their editorial policies as available from the journals themselves, from the Newspaper Press Directory, from biographical studies, including the DNB, the ODNB, and from John Gross’s The Rise and Fall of the Man of Letters (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1969). Information has also been taken from Frank Luther Mott, A History of American Magazines (5 vols, Harvard University Press, 1930–68); Edward E. Chielens (ed.), American Literary Magazines (Greenwood Press): The Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries (1986) and The Twentieth Century (1992); and Alvin Sullivan (ed.), British Literary Magazines (Greenwood Press): The Victorian and Edwardian Age, 1837–1914 (1984) and The Modern Age, 1914–1984 (1986). Against each periodical are given details of VW’s contributions and often of the payments she received as recorded in her account book (WSU).
Bookman (New York)
Founded in 1895, it was bought by Seward Collins in 1927, who chose to renovate the magazine by combining the features of a literary review with a general magazine. He appointed Burton Rascoe as editor, but he left shortly afterwards. Collins edited the magazine until he ended its publication in 1933. VW’s contributions, for which she received £37 for the former and £106 9s. 8d. (i.e. $575, less 10% to her agent Curtis Brown, at $4.86 = £1) for the latter (LWP Ad. 18; WSU): 1929: ‘Geraldine and Jane’ (February) [TLS]: ‘Phases of Fiction’ (April–June).
Figaro (Paris)
Originally founded as a satirical weekly in 1826, it became a daily in 1866, was bought by the perfume millionaire François Coty in 1922, and by the beginning of the Second World War had become France’s leading newspaper. In CR2 VW acknowledges that some of her ‘papers’ appeared in this newspaper. In a letter of 9 December 1928 to André Chaumeix, editor of Le Figaro, VW wrote: ‘I heard from Miss Halford and told her that I should be ready to give the French rights of my articles from time to time to the Figaro on the terms that you suggest’, and she offered to send him an article of 1500–2000 words the following month; in a letter of 16 January 1929, she enclosed an article and wrote: ‘I have arranged that it will not appear here before Feb. 7th. I hope this suits you, and that the article is the kind that you wish for’ (uncollected letters in Michael Silverman’s Manuscripts, Autograph Letters & Historical Documents: Some Recent Acquisitions, Catalogue no. 3 [London, 1998], items 51–2). VW was usually paid £8 per article (WSU). VW’s contributions (all but the first are identified as translated by Jeanne Fournier-Pargoire): 1929: ‘Quand on ne sait pas le français …’ (10 February): ‘La Soirée du docteur Burney’ (19, 20, 22–23 August): ‘Cowper et Lady Austen’ (22–23 September): ‘Le beau Brummell’ (14–15 October): ‘Mary Wollstonecraft’ (26–27 December); 1930: ‘Dorothy Wordsworth’ (5–6 May): ‘Les Essais d’Augustin Birrell’ (28–29 August); 1931: ‘La Demi-soeur de Fanny Burney’ (16–18 February): ‘Edmond Gosse’ (5 August); 1932: ‘Un Roman-poème “Aurora Leigh”’ (5–7 January).
Fortnightly Review
Founded in 1865 as a review of politics, literature, etc., it soon became a monthly but maintained its high reputation under the editorship of William Leonard Courtney (1850–1928) until his death, but then its quality dropped off sharply. VW’s contribution, for which she was paid £9 0s. 3d. (WSU): 1931: ‘Edmund Gosse’ (1 June) [‘As a Light to Letters’, NYHT].
Forum (New York)
A quarterly review, founded in 1886, and edited 1923–40 by Henry Goddard Leach (1880–1970), author and educator. Concerned with contemporary national and international questions, it also published general articles and, during 1925–36, fiction. According to S. P. Rosenbaum, it ‘was a distinguished New York review that took its title seriously and tried to provide a non-partisan medium for intellectual debate and contemporary literature’ (W&F, p. xxi). VW’s contribution, for which she received £40 (WSU): 1929: ‘Women and Fiction’ (March).
Good Housekeeping
A weekly magazine, founded in March 1922, aiming ‘to teach middle-class women how to run their homes, especially after the First World War’ (‘in these days of servant shortage’), and then later, in the 1930s, when ‘a businessman with two children lived comfortably on £1000 pa’ (Ragtime to Wartime: The Best of Good Housekeeping 1929–1939, compiled by Brian Braithwaite, Noëlle Walsh and Glyn Davies [Ebury Press, 1986], pp. 7, 11, 108; and see ‘Budgeting the Income’, pp. 122–5, from the December 1931 issue; see also facsimiles of the opening spreads of ‘The Docks of London’ and ‘Oxford Street Tide’, pp. 126–7 and 138–9). It was edited 1924–1939 by Alice Maude Wood. VW’s contributions were the six essays listed below. Good Housekeeping ‘apparently had expressed interest in “more than one article”’ (Naomi Black, Virginia Woolf as Feminist [Cornell University Press, 2004], p.132, quoting an uncollected letter of 10 February 1931). For this series, she received £50 per article less 10% to her agent, Curtis Brown. When Curtis Brown sent her the payment for the last article on 7 December 1932, they still referred to it as ‘A London Character’ (LWP Ad. 18; and see WSU). VW’s contributions: 1931: ‘The Docks of London’ (December); 1932: ‘Oxford Street Tide’ (January); ‘Great Men’s Houses’ (March); ‘Abbeys and Cathedrals’ (May); ‘“This is the House of Commons”’ (October); ‘Portrait of a Londoner’ (December).
Life and Letters
A monthly financed by Oliver Brett (later 3rd Viscount Esher), founded in 1928 and edited until 1934 by Desmond MacCarthy (1877–1952), with Brett as his sub-editor. In his opening editorial MacCarthy told readers they could not expect ‘to perceive any marked tendency in its pages’ and could anticipate ‘a varied diet’. From about 1929, however, figures associated with modernism received a great deal of space either as the subjects of essays or as contributors themselves. VW’s contributions, for which she was paid £30 for the former and £10 for the latter (WSU): 1929: ‘Dr Burney’s Evening Party’ (September) [NYHT]; 1930: ‘The Essays of Augustine Birrell’ (July) [‘Augustine Birrell’, Yale Review].
Listener
The British Broadcasting Corporation’s weekly literary journal. VW’s contribution, for which she was paid £4 14s. (WSU): 1929: ‘Beau Brummell’ (27 November – see VI VW Essays, Appendix) [N&A, NYHT].
Nation and Athenaeum
A Liberal weekly journal of politics, literature, science, art, the drama and finance, edited by Hubert Henderson (see Appendix IV, III VW Essays), with LW as his (increasingly reluctant) literary editor until February 1930, and succeeded by Edmund Blunden. It merged with the New Statesman in 1931. VW’s contributions, for which she appears to have been paid £42 in total for the first four and £7 10s. for the sixth (WSU): 1929: ‘Cowper and Lady Austen’ (21 September) [NYHT]; ‘Beau Brummell’ (28 September) [NYHT, Listener]; ‘Mary Wollstonecraft’ (5 October) [NYHT]; ‘Dorothy Wordsworth’ (12 October) [NYHT]; ‘Women and Leisure’ (16 November); 1930: ‘“I am Christina Rossetti”’ (6 December) [NYHT].
New Republic (New York)
A weekly journal of opinion and liberal views, founded in 1914 by Willard D. Straight, and edited by Herbert Croly (1869–1930) until his death and then by Bruce Bliven, 1930–46. VW’s contributions, for each of which she received between £14 and £15 (WSU): 1929: ‘On Not Knowing French’ (13 February); 1931: ‘All About Books’ (15 April) [NS&N]; ‘The Pundit of the Quarterly’ (15 July) [‘Lockhart’s Criticism’, TLS].
New Statesman and Nation
The New Statesman was founded as a Fabian weekly in 1913. Basil Kingsley Martin (1897–1969) was the first editor of the merged NS&N and retained the post until his retirement in 1960; his first literary editor was R. Ellis Roberts, whom he inherited from the New Statesman: ‘Kingsley Martin lunched with us … & said that the Nation & the N.S. are to amalgamate; & he is to be editor (highly secret, like all nonsense) & would L. be literary editor? No; L. wd. not’ (III VW Diary, 20 December 1930, and see fn. 13). The NS&N was a weekly review of politics and literature and its first issue was on 28 February 1931. VW was usually paid seven guineas per article (WSU). VW’s contributions: 1931: ‘All About Books’ (28 February) [NR]; 1932: ‘The Rev. William Cole: A Letter’ (6 February).
New York Herald Tribune
A major newspaper with an extensive ‘Weekly Book Supplement’, edited 1926–63 by Irita van Doren (1891–1966). ‘It aint so much that I’m a bad writer though that I am, as that I’m a sold soul … to Mrs Van Doren’, VW wrote on 2 September 1927 to Vita Sackville-West. ‘Here am I bound hand and foot to write an article on the works of a man called Hemingway. There are three more to follow. For this I shall be paid £120. Not a penny more do I earn as long as I live; so help me God … write for the Americans again, write for money again, I will not’ (III VW Letters, no. 1805). She received £30 for ‘A Sentimental Journey’, published on 23 September 1928 (WSU). However, she wrote on 13 April 1929: ‘I have just agreed to do another 4 articles for Mrs Van Doren, because she has raised her price to £50 an article – so that, whatever the cost, I can have my new room’ (III VW Diary). By 5 August she was ‘in the thick of my four Herald articles’; on 19 August she had ‘written my four little brief hard articles’; and on 22 August 1929 she noted: ‘Now my little tugging & distressing … articles are off my mind’ (III VW Diary). As indicated, VW usually received £50 per article, but she received £60 for ‘Dr Burney’s Evening Party’ and £30 for ‘As a Light to Letters’; she recorded two payments of £50 for ‘“Evelina’s” Step Sister’, but this may just possibly be an error (WSU). VW’s contributions: 1929: ‘Dr Burney’s Evening Party’ (21 and 28 July) [L&L]; ‘Cowper and Lady Austen’ (22 September) [N&A]; ‘Beau Brummell’ (29 September) [N&A, Listener]; ‘Mary Wollstonecraft’ (20 October) [N&A]; ‘Dorothy Wordsworth’ (27 October) [N&A]; 1930: ‘Wm. Hazlitt the Man’ (7 September) [‘William Hazlitt’, TLS]; ‘“Evelina’s” Step Sister’ (14 September) [‘Fanny Burney’s Half-Sister’, TLS]; ‘I am Christina Rossetti’ (14 December) [‘“I am Christina Rossetti”’, N&A]; 1931: ‘As a Light to Letters’ (26 July) [‘Edmund Gosse’, Fortnightly Review].
Nineteenth Century and After
A monthly founded in 1877 by Sir James Thomas Knowles (1831–1908) as owner/editor. It changed its name in 1901, and its prominence and reputation declined after his death. It aimed to publish original signed articles on topics of the day by eminent authors. VW’s contribution, for which she was paid £5 (WSU): 1929: ‘The “Censorship” of Books’ (April).
Time and Tide
An independent weekly founded in 1920, and for many years from 1928 edited, by Margaret Haig, Viscountess Rhondda (1883–1958), a feminist who sought to change the nation’s ‘habit of mind’ and establish ‘a fresher, more liberal climate of opinion’. In 1956 Lady Rhondda wrote: ‘A first-class weekly review … is read by comparatively few people, but they are the people who count, the people of influence, the people who make the universities, the people who teach the young, the people who make the laws and the people who administer them. The good weekly review is in fact amongst the unacknowledged legislators’ (Introduction to Time and Tide Anthology, ed. Anthony Lejeune [André Deutsch, 1956], p. 11). VW’s contribution, for which she was paid eight guineas (WSU): 1929: ‘An Excerpt from “A Room of One’s Own”’ (22 and 29 November).
