Comment on A Woolf in sheikh’s clothing by The Dreadnought Hoax : Old Salt Blog - a virtual port of call for all those who love the sea

[...] The next day the Navy was mortified to learn that the party they had escorted around the warship had not been Abyssinian dignitaries at all. Instead it had been a group of young, upper class pranksters who had blackened their faces, donned elaborate theatrical costumes, and then forged an official telegram in order to gain access to the ship. Their ringleader was a man named Horace de Vere Cole, but the entourage also included a young woman called Virginia Stephen who would later be better known as the writer Virginia Woolf. She has since been referred to as A Woolf in sheikh’s clothing [...]

This is incredibly fascinating, as both T.S. Eliot and Allen Ginsberg are among my favorite poets! I would love to be able to read some of Ginsberg’s notes and annotations.. it would surely offer great insight into his own work as well as Eliot’s influence upon it.

Where do you find this stuff?

It would have been better if he had stuck with the rose tattoo for the name, it’s more emotional so i don’t see the point in the name change. Art is art as it seems.

Leslie Morris, Curator

I am delighted to see this blog and to know that it is being viewed by many scholars; as a matter of fact, I learned that it was up by the editor of Spring: The Journal of the E. E. Cummings Society, Michael Webster. He mentioned that he will be doing research at Houghton beginning January 5, 2009 so I mentioned that he should look you up.

In reading the blog, I noticed that the wrong date was used. I’ve written about Villa’s mecurial use of false dates of birth which range from 1906 to 1917. His real date of birth is August 5, 1908; this is actually his centennial and my publication of his collected poems commemorates this date of birth. The book is entitled: Doveglion: The Collected Poems of Jose Garcia Villa (NY: Penguin Classic Book, 2008).

Thank you,

John Edwin Cowen
