At the time of her death, Virginia Woolf left behind a considerable number of essays, sketches, and stories that had yet to be published in book form. The posthumous publication of Granite and Rainbow brings to light twenty-seven of her essays on the art of fiction and the art of biography including a remarkable portrait of the early Hemingway and critical estimates of Lawrence Sterne, Walt Whitman, Oliver Wendell Holmes and many others.
