And now you, among others, are revivifying, reasserting your reputation.

Can I just, that quotation I started the programme with about Virginia Woolf laying flowers on her grave, do you think that, do you go along with that, Joanne?

Her reputation is being restored by persons like yourself and others, but is her legacy there at Auckland?

Can you see it percolating through to your students?

Absolutely.

Well, thank you all very much.

Thank you, Ros Ballester, Jan Todd, Claire Bowditch.

And if you have a topic for us that you think deserves a big radio audience, please send your ideas through our website or Twitter at BBC In Our Time by the 27th of October.

One will be the subject of our programme on the 7th of December.

Next week, we're discussing the Congress of Vienna after the Napoleonic Wars, which settled the balance of power across Europe for the next 100 years.

Here I am, I... We did...

Yeah, you make these decisions, don't you?
