As the Cavendish experts probably already know, there is an essay by Virginia
Woolf on Cavendish in 'The Common Reader', (entitled 'The Duchess of
Newcastle'). She was clearly not VW's kind of writer, but this essay is
interesting (perhaps) as an example of earlier rediscoveries of marginalised
women writers. And how they get forgotten again and have to be rediscovered
once more!
