The Millions has Lyndall Gordon share 'Ten Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About Virginia Woolf' such as this:
3. The first published essay. It was while Virginia Stephen lived with her aunt Caroline that she picked up her pen to write professionally for the first time in November 1904. It was for a women’s supplement to a church magazine called The Guardian. The topic she chose was a pilgrimage to the Brontë Parsonage in Haworth. In the museum, above a bank on the steep village street, she’s “thrilled” to find the little oak stool “which Emily carried with her on her solitary moorland tramps, and on which she sat, if not to write, as they say, to think.”
The Guardian features stand-up comedian Elf Lyons.
By the age of 10, Elf (born Emily-Anne) was performing her plays to the family. “Everyone would laugh but they weren’t meant to be funny. They were really serious plays about big issues!” At boarding school, her style icon was Jane Eyre. (Chris Wiegand)
The Cut has a fictional piece by Polly Rosenwaike.
A bench flanked by those glorious trees called out to her to lie down there and read. All through that fall, she lifted nineteenth-century novels up to the sky—Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre—and the golden span of leaves formed a frame around the book. The combination of the beautiful tree and the beautiful book almost made her feel lifted out of her loneliness.
