About this book

This volume provides multi-faceted perspectives on Virginia Woolf as observed and remembered by relatives, close friends, acquaintances and fellow writers. Gathered from scattered sources, the forty-one pieces - some published for the first time - provide an intimate portrait of a fascinating individual who many consider this century's most significant woman writer. This new and varied collection sheds light on the private and public personalities of Virginia Woolf the subtle poetic novelist, the devoted friend and the influential and successful publisher.
