In this chapter’s account of Woolf’s labour as a writer and publisher at the Hogarth Press, Alice Staveley connects the labour of mothers and writers, and the delivery of babies and books. Reading the converging deliveries of Orlando’s poem ‘The Oak Tree’, her son, and the manuscript of Orlando, Staveley analyses Woolf’s invocation of her own 1919 short story ‘Kew Gardens’ in the novel’s final pages. Sounding the resonances of this story’s published forms, particularly the limited luxury edition issued in 1927, Staveley argues that the Kew Gardens scene turns the ‘narratological modernist motif of closure-as-return into a materialist tribute’. |
