Virginia Woolf: Ruth Webb 'The British Library writers' lives series 2000
Condition: Fine no signs of wear
Cover: Hardcover no slipcover
From back cover: Illustrated with a wide variety of period material, from manuscripts and diaries in Woolf's hand in the British Library to photographs and paintings in many other collections, this book offers an attractive overview of Virginia Woolf's life and legacy.
English novelist and essayist Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) remains one of the most fascinating and enigmatic writers of this century. The daughter of Leslie Stephen, editor of Oxford's own Dictionary of National Biography, she was educated privately and married critic and journalist Leonard Woolf. Together they founded the Hogarth Press and were at the center of the Bloomsbury circle, which included Lytton Strachey, Clive Bell, Roger Fry, Vita Sackville-West, and many other notable intellectuals, all of whom appear frequently in the narrative. Webb deftly puts into this context Woolf's large and varied literary output--diaries, letters, journalism, essays, short stories, and novels--as well as her constant battles with mental illness that culminated in her suicide by drowning. Woolf's writing, especially Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, A Room of One's Own, and her diaries, are favorites of high school students and adults of all ages.
