Detailed Explanation & Answer
Virginia Woolf discusses the societal status of writers and their education in 'The Leaning Tower.'
She argues that since Chaucer's time, writers have predominantly emerged from the middle class, and they often possess a good, albeit expensive, education.
This reflects the changing dynamics of literary production and the impact of social class on writing careers.
Woolf's insights highlight how access to education and social background shape literary voices.
