Description

Virginia Woolf began writing reviews for the Guardian ‘to make a few pence’ from her father’s death in 1904, and continued until the last decade of her life. The result is a phenomenal collection of articles, of which this selection offers a fascinating glimpse, which display the gifts of a dazzling social and literary critic as well as the development of a brilliant and influential novelist. From reflections on class and education, to slyly ironic reviews, musings on the lives of great men and ‘Street Haunting’, a superlative tour of her London neighbourhood, this is Woolf at her most thoughtful and entertaining.
