Virginia Woolf

First published in 1979, Virginia Woolf is an original critical study of where the author considers Virginia Woolf’s non-fiction as well as fiction, exploring the different ways Woolf sought to embody her artistic vision throughout her remarkable literary career. The book establishes both the intellectual and social setting of the Bloomsbury world in which she lived and includes detailed discussions of all her work. Woolf’s unending quest to express, as she says, ‘the exact shapes my brain holds,’ provides us with a new method of appreciating her total achievement as a writer. This book will be of interest to students of literature and women’s studies.
