The cover of Virginia Woolf’s 1933 novel “Flush: A Biography,” which included original drawings by Vanessa Bell.
For Woolf Salon No. 33: Falling in Love with Flush, the focus will be on Woolf’s 1933 biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s dog Flush.
Though the Woolf Salon Project tends to focus on shorter texts (essays, stories, excerpts), Flush seems fitting for this time of year and is only about 33,000 words long. Even if you can’t finish reading or rereading the novel by Feb. 13, the Salon Conspirators would love to see you on the Zoom call.

Background on the Salon
The Salon Conspirators — Ben Hagen, Shilo McGiff, Amy Smith, and Drew Shannon — began the Woolf Salon Project in July 2020 to provide opportunities for conversation and conviviality among Woolf-interested scholars, students, and common readers during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decorated plate in the center of this poster features one of 50 plates in the Famous Women Dinner Service, 1932-1934, painted by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant and now housed at Charleston.

Woolf’s book about Flush is one I’ve never been able to lay my grubby little eyes on! I’m a library borrower in a province that has a fantastic interlibrary loan system, and yet … not this one. -Kate
So sorry. Can you locate a used copy in an online bookstore?
Paula– Probably! but I’m a library patron, not a book-buyer, so not motivated enough to search very long or hard online. Maybe one will appear at a library in the province before I actually have to “go shopping.” Or maybe I’ll climb into the 21st century and get an e-reader one of these days. -Old School Kate
