Publisher Description: Throughout her life, Virginia Woolf worked and reworked short story ideas, trying to encapsulate her thoughts perfectly in a concise form, but rarely did she publish them. This volume brings together the stories from her own collection 'Monday or Tuesday', together with stories that later appeared individually in magazines and those from amongst her papers that her widower, Leonard, thought sufficiently polished to put before her readers. Virginia Woolf was a luminous novelist, a prolific essayist and book reviewer, and a diarist. With her husband Leonard, Woolf established and ran the Hogarth Press which published works by influential modernist writers. In their first five years, they published Katherine Mansfield, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, Clive Bell, Roger Fry and Sigmund Freud. Woolf's haunting writing, her succinct insights into feminist, artistic, historical, political issues, and her revolutionary experiments with points of view and stream-of-consciousness altered the course of literature. |
