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.
