A small contribution to the madness of the Stephen's. I'm sure there is much more.
(From 'Evil Demiurge' by Webster Tarpley 1995):
'Stephen was a homosexual, was the son of the pathological woman-hater Fitzjames Stephen. J.K. Stephen's uncle was Sir Leslie Stephen, the writer. There is evidence that J.K. Stephen sexually molested his cousin, best known today by her married name, Virginia Woolf, the novelist. This experience may be related to Virginia Woolf's numerous suicide attempts.' |

Thanks, A.P. It's been a long time since I've read Quentin Bell's biography of Woolf, but I thought George Duckworth was the fellow who's supposed to have molested the young Virginia Woolf.
Cheers,

Cheers Dave,
Maybe JK had whiskers and Duckworth not:
'Virginia was less resistant. When he stumbled towards her from Julia's death bed, she put out her hand to him. He rejected it and hurried on. The scene was imprinted on her memory for life. After the death the girls heard him passing their room, talking to himself: 'I wish I were dead - I wish I were dead - I wish my whiskers would grow.'
I mean these guys are really mad.
