“Vision and Design” in Virginia Woolf
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2020
Extract
The fact that Roger Fry and Virginia Woolf were friends and colleagues in the realm of art needs no demonstration. Not only were they closely associated for many years as members of “the Bloomsbury Group,” but the Hogarth Press, established by the Woolfs in Tavistock Square, published some of Fry's essays. After Fry's death in 1934, it was Virginia Woolf who, at the request of Fry's sister, became his biographer. This portrait of the critic was undertaken, says Margery Fry in the “Foreword” addressed to Mrs. Woolf, as a result of “one of those discussions upon the methods of the arts which illuminated his long and happy friendship with you.”

15 The meaning of these words is developed in my essay “Toward Virginia Woolf,” Virginia Quarterly, x, 587-602. Mrs. Woolf in a personal letter on this article gave general approval of my interpretation, with the added caveat that I attributed to her too much “consciousness” of purpose.
