Description
June 1939 marks a pivotal moment in English history as a country house prepares to host its annual village pageant. Yet, amidst the preparations, the looming threat of war casts a shadow over the community.
Through the lives of its inhabitants and the enigmatic figure of Miss La Trobe, Virginia Woolf's novel explores the role of the artist in a rapidly changing world. With wit and nuance, she pokes fun at Englishness while also re-creating the elusive position of the creator.
This playful final novel from one of the 20th century's greatest writers is edited by Stella McNichol with an introduction and notes by Gillian Beer, offering a unique perspective on Woolf's work.
