Leonard Woolf
Person
Born
Britain. Leonard and Virginia Woolf bought a small hand press in 1917 and set up the Hogarth Press in their dining room in Richmond, partly as therapy for Virginia. Leonard ran the business side as it grew into a serious publisher of Virginia's novels, T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and the first English translations of Freud. Owning their press freed Virginia from editors' demands.
