Hello, what's this?
Reader, sewer, gamer, painter, watcher of television and films, not quite succeeding at any of them (except maybe the tv and films bit) but trying.
Virginia Woolf - In her own words, 1937 (from the BBC Archive)
“Although Virginia Woolf claims that great literature is created simply by selecting the right words and putting them in the correct order, she admits that constructing something worth reading is not easy. She asks whether it is the words themselves that make things difficult, both because of the memories of past uses associated with each one and because of the words’ own demands for freedom and refusal to be pinned down.”
This is the only recording of Virginia Woolf, it’s amazing to hear her voice.
The BBC’s legacy Radio and Television programme collections have resided at the Windmill Road Archive in Brentford, West London, for 42 years. There are almost five million items held on a wide variety formats including film, dating back to 1936, videotape, first introduced into the BBC in the late sixties and numerous audio tape and disc including a small collection of wax cylinders which date back to the early 1900s.
