		The Library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf is rich in volumes annotated by Leonard Woolf (including a few by Virginia Woolf, primarily her Greek texts), numerous review copies, and gifts from their friends.

		The Hogarth Press Collection is among the most extensive in existence and is especially strong in the period from 1917 until 1946, when Leonard Woolf sold John Lehmann's share of the press to the directors of Chatto and Windus.

	Virginia Woolf & Leonard Woolf
		Woolf’s transformation to life in Jaffna was gradual, and his autobiography reveals a fledgling outsider content to describe the colonial structure and various personalities without direct personal involvement.
		Woolf was repulsed by the ghastly spectacle of prisoners whipped with a cat-o’-nine-tails or hanged and he called capital punishment inhumane and disgusting.
		Woolf was due to return to Ceylon in April 1912, but his uncertain relationship with Virginia Stephen and his negative attitude toward the colonial empire made him finally request an extension of leave from the Under Secretary for the Colonies.

	SparkNotes: Virginia Woolf: The Novelist Emerges
		Woolf continued to remain close to both Clive and Vanessa, though she did not show her writing to anyone until it was finished, even Leonard.
		Woolf was not very fond of most of the people at the 1917 Club, calling the women "cropheads", a reference to the new hairstyle many "modern" women were wearing in which their bangs were cut bluntly across their foreheads.
		Woolf read the manuscript and although she declared that he seemed to be writing for a snobbish, intellectual clique (of which, many could argue she herself belonged), Woolf recognized the genius in James Joyce.

	Heroine Worship: Virginia Woolf, The Voyage In
		Her husband, Leonard Woolf, believed that without the aid of her inheritance his wife would probably not have written a novel at all.
		The diaries and letters spanning both world wars are filled with bulletins and arguments, terrors of distant armies and next-door bombs and the precariousness of the entire civilization of which she knew herself to be a late, probably too exquisite bloom.
		But Woolf's personal example is in the strength and the steady professionalism that kept her constantly at work - the overambitious failures as sweated over as the lyric triumphs.

	Booklist--Coates, Irene. Who's Afraid of Leonard Woolf?
		Virginia Woolf is one of the most analyzed writers of all time, but one key aspect of her life has remained in shadow, her husband.
		Leonard has been all but canonized as a saint who sacrificed his own happiness to enable his mad genius wife to write, a simplistic tale Coates wholeheartedly rejects.
		She presents her case against Leonard in a forcefully written, meticulously argued, adroitly supported, and curiously emotional narrative, in which she chronicles a power struggle between an ambitious, manipulative, and selfish man whose books went nowhere, and a fluently creative, generous, and life-loving woman whose writing revolutionized fiction and challenged the patriarchal paradigm.

	Outsiders Together: Virginia and Leonard Woolf - Natania Rosenfeld - Microsoft Reader eBooks
		The marriage of Virginia and Leonard Woolf is best understood as a dialogue of two outsiders about ideas of social and political belonging and exclusion.
		At the time of the Woolfs' marriage, Leonard was a penniless ex-colonial administrator, a fervent anti-imperialist, a committed socialist, a budding novelist, and an assimilated Jew who vacillated between fierce pride in his ethnicity and repudiation of it.
		Leonard helped Virginia elucidate her own prejudices and elitism, and his political engagements intensified her identification with outsiders in British society.

		Leonard, also a novelist, began work on his own novel, which was about Ceylon, called The Village in the Jungle.
		Leonard, to make ends meet, had taken a part-time job at Grafton Galleries where Roger Fry was preparing his Second Post-Impressionist Exhibition, which was sure to cause another uproar since Picasso and Matisse enraged traditional art lovers because of their audacity and bucking of tradition.

		Leonard Woolf had himself been similarly confronted in the early twenties with propositions to write for the American market.

		For, as Lyndall Gordon, the biographer of Virginia Woolf, writes in her new Persephone Preface: ‘It is a truth widely acknowledged that Camilla Lawrence in The Wise Virgins is a portrait of the author’s wife – Virginia Woolf.’ This is one reason why the novel is so intriguing.
		In addition, it is a novel about feminism, which Leonard called ‘the belief or policy of all sensible men.’ Finally, the agitation for the vote, then at its height, is integral to the book.
		Leonard Woolf’s The Wise Virgins has as its endpapers a printed linen furnishing fabric called ‘White’, designed by Vanessa Bell for the Omega Workshops in 1913, the same year the novel was published.

	Criticism: Outsiders Together: Virginia and Leonard Woolf. - book review
		Foremost for her rendering of this world are Virginia's gender and Leonard's Jewishness, categories that placed them both in the position of insider/outsider within the sociopolitical, cultural milieu of early twentieth-century Britain.
		In their marriage the Woolfs enacted, and in their work they fantasized, theorized, and attempted, the crossing of borders intently policed in the `real world.' As the founders and editors of the Hogarth Press, moreover, Virginia Woolf and Leonard Woolf laid a crossroads in the dissemination of avant-garde literature and ideas..." (4).
		Both writers, Rosenfeld argues, drew on the inspiration and stimulating irritation provided by the other in a marriage she describes as "a dynamic border case," a "counterpoint of prejudice and empathy." Each chapter reads the writings of the two against or through the other's writings or presence: dialogue and dialectic are recurring motifs.
