Sections I-V (7.1-89.19; A1 3.1-88.3)
As indicated above, Woolf did not begin her revises for Raverat until
page 91, whereas she undertook revision for A1 and E1 as early
as page 15. In this segment of A1 she emended some 50 passages on
37 pages of proof, making minor changes in punctuation, capitalization,
spelling, and phrasing —many, but not all of which, agree with
E1
readings. These Apr revises are, then, Type III or Type V emendations. As
most of them are minor, it is possible that she simply decided not to include
them on Raverat's proofset. But it is also possible that all were made after
mid-February. At R 33.12, for instance, a blank of about eight spaces
occurs either because the Hogarth printer could not read Woolf's typescript
or because the typescript itself lacked a word; Woolf corrected the passage
for both first editions, adding the word "purity" (A1 30.5), but Raverat
had to fill in the blank on his own. Given the statement in the letter of 5
February that Raverat's set was to be
left "uncorrected," the simplest hypothesis is that most of the 50 Apr
revises in Sections I-V belong to the third type of variants, those
intentionally omitted from Raverat's set.
