          <note>The editors have added a note stating that Virginia Woolf was writing about de Quincey's 'Impassioned Prose'. 
I have shown a date range between Virginia's previous and subsequent letters to Vita, as the editors have indicated that the date of the letter, and therefore the date of the reading experience, is uncertain. </note>
