Woolf attempts to see literature from the perspective of the ‘common reader’, someone whom she distinguished from the critic and the scholar. She investigates the novels of George Gissing, the poetry of Donne, Mary Wollstonecraft and many others.

Description

‘He reads for his own pleasure rather than to impart knowledge or correct the opinions of others’.
So Virginia Woolf described the ‘common reader’ for whom she wrote her second series of essays. Here she turns her brilliant eye on novels and poetry from John Donne to Christina Rossetti and Mary Wollstonecraft as well as many others. This is an informal, informative and witty celebration of our literary and social heritage by a writer of genius.
