Here, in twenty-six essays, Woolf writes of English literature in its various forms, including the poetry of Donne, the novels of Defoe, Sterne, Meredith, and Hardy, Lord Chesterfield's letters and De Quincey's autobiography. She writes, too, about the life and art of women. Edited and with an Introduction by Andrew McNeillie, Index.

Woolf's first novel is a haunting book, full of light and shadow. It takes Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose and their niece, Rachel, on a sea voyage from London to a resort on the South american coast. "It is a strange, tragic, inspired book whose scene is a South americanca not found on any map and reached by a boat which would not float on any sea, an americanca whose spiritual boundaries touch Xanadu and Atlantis" (E. M. Forster).

Known for her novels, and for the dubious fame of being a doyenne of the 'Bloomsbury Set', in her time Virginia Woolf was highly respected as a major essayist and critic with a special interest and commitment to contemporary literature, and women's writing in particular. This spectacular collection of essays and other writings does justice to those efforts, offering unique appraisals of Aphra Behn, Mary Wollstonecraft, the Duchess of Newcastle...

The final volume of Virginia Woolf's remarkable letters. Edited by Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann.

The Diary of Virginia Woolf has been acclaimed as a masterpiece. Anne Olivier Bell edited the five-volume original, and she has now abridged the Diary in this splendidly readable single volume edition. "A fine opportunity to experience Woolf's biting wit and scathing depiction of her contemporaries" (Booklist). Introduction by Quentin Bell, Index.

Night and Day, Virginia Woolf's second novel, is both a love story and a social comedy in the tradition of Jane Austen, yet it also questions that tradition, recognizing that the goals of society and the individual may not necessarily coincide. At its centre is Katharine Hilbery, the beautiful grand-daughter of a great Victorian poet. She must choose between becoming engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William Rodney and her attraction to Ralph ...

Direct and vivid in its telling of the details of a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, the novel manages ultimately to deliver much more. It is the feelings that loom behind those daily events--the social alliances, the shopkeeper's exchange, the fact of death--that give Mrs. Dalloway texture and richness.

These years were dominated by one woman and one book. The woman was Ethel Smyth, the book was The Waves. This volume's "unerringly human and confessional tone makes Woolf, at last, a real person" (San Francisco Chronicle). Edited by Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann, Introduction by Nigel Nicolson, Index, photographs.

Now in her forties and in love, Woolf writes two of her greatest novels during this period. "I can only write, letters that is, if I don't read them: once think and I destroy."-to Pernel Strachey, August 10, 1923. Edited by Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann, Introduction by Nigel Nicolson, Index, photographs.

Over six hundred letters covering the first decade of the Woolfs' marriage, the publication of The Voyage Out, Night and Day, and Jacob's Room, the founding of Hogarth Press, the years of World War I, Virginia's two periods of insanity and an attempted suicide. Edited by Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann, Introduction by Nigel Nicolson, Index, photographs.

Set in the halcyon days of pre-World War I innocence, Virginia Woolf's third novel follows the progress of a young man as he moves from adolescence to adulthood in a hazy rite of passage. Wandering through the windswept shores of Cornwall to the sun-scorched landscape of Greece, his character is revealed in a stream of loosely related incidents, thoughts, and impressions.

Virginia Woolf's only play-a hilarious farce taken from the life of her great-aunt, Julia Margaret Cameron, the famous Victorian photographer. It was first performed at Vanessa Bell's London studio in 1935 as one of Bloomsbury's theatrical evenings and later, in New York, in a star-studded French production. Edited and with a Preface by Lucio P. Ruotolo, drawings by Edward Gorey.

This story of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel, Flush, enchants right from the opening pages. Although Flush has adventures of his own with bullying dogs, horrid maids, and robbers, he also provides the reader with a glimpse into Browning's life. Introduction by Trekkie Ritchie.

During the period in which these essays were written, Woolf published Night and Day and Jacob's Room, contributed widely to British and American periodicals, and progressed from straight reviewing to more extended critical essays. "Excellently edited, the essays reconfirm (Woolf's) major importance as a twentieth-century writer" (Library Journal). Edited and with an Introduction by Andrew McNeillie, Index.

Und als das »wunderlichste« ihrer »Abenteuer« bei seinem Erscheinen im März 193...
