WOOLF, Virginia. With a Note by Leonard Woolf.

Item Number: 90420

London: The Hogarth Press, 1939.

First edition of Woolf’s small work on the art of reviewing literature. Small octavo, original wrappers as issued. Laid in is a slip advertising “Hogarth Sexpenny Pamphlets: A new series of pamphlets in which well-known authors and journalists are being invited to express their views with complete freedom.” Following her 1912 marriage to Leonard Woolf, the couple founded the Hogarth Press in 1917, which published much of her work. In near fine condition.

One of the most important modernist 20th century authors, British novelist Virginia Woolf became a pioneer in the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device. Woolf became one of the central subjects of the 1970s movement of feminist criticism, and her works have since garnered much attention and widespread commentary for "inspiring feminism", an aspect of her writing that was unheralded earlier. Woolf's best known works include Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), The Waves (1931).
